Has something gone awry with the section on Radcliffe Colliery??


Yes in my copy that is how the text appears. So there is a typographical error with a sentence part repeated and likely something missing as well. Have you a copy handy? is it the same? I'm not sure if it went to a second edition, if so then perhaps it was corrected? I'll add a scan of the actual page below so you can see it.

On the subject of copyright expired books I have the Percy Artillery records book , which gives some history up to 1899. A good few names of officers mentioned, including the 'usual suspects', Clutterbuck, Lamb, Widdrington, Dand et al. Bit more of a challenge to convert to a web page due to tables and lists. I had a bit of a dabble and it took about 10 hours to do 10 pages! 83 pages in all. I've put it on the back burner for now and switched back to the WW1 casualty lists.
