History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

I have written a short element for the book on the 1/5th Battalion and i'm looking for feedback. The PDF is free to anyone who would like to read it.

.It is part of the chapter on the Volunteers/Territorials before WW1. You can see that I have used resources, but as this is just a draft I haven't added a reference sheet or bibliography.

It's a draft, not a finished product. Please feel free to add criticisms, or make any additions, comment on its pace and how it reads. Personally I feel that the numbering of battalions is a little cumbersome. You will see this document on two other websites, the Manchester Regiment Form & The Great War forum, if you do, its will just be a repeat.

The next phase will be South Africa, the changes made in 1908 regarding the battalion titles, terms of service and foreign service. I have primary sources for this element.
