CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities. This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only. We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund. Messages soliciting sponsorship for causes or charities other than the Fusilier ones mentioned above should not be placed on the message board and may be removed by the Webmaster.

Good Evening Sam
Yes, your post is certainly in order.
I can confirm that L/Cpl 6743 Albert Chorley was indeed a Lancashire Fusilier and was serving with the 11th Battalion LF at the time of his death on the Somme at 9th July, 1916. He was a native of Barnsley Yorkshire. He is of course recorded on the CWGC Website, which confirm his medal entitlement as the Victory Medal and British War Medal. His family received the Memorial Plaque of WW1.
His wife at the time he was KIA is recorded as being Elizabeth Chorley who subsequently remarried and became Elizabeth Travis. Her address when married to Albert is recorded as 97 Armitage Street, Ardwick, Manchester. She remarried on 27.6 17. They had two children, Albert Thomas born 19.8.10. and Doris born 12.6.14. She was awarded a War Gratuity of £8 and 10 shillings.
We are often asked to assist in reuniting found medals to Veteran's decendents but sadly it is seldom possible. It must be bourn in mind that the information given above which was gleaned from the National Archives, is over 100 years old and therefore hopelessly out of date. The National Archives are the only source of accurate information regarding WW1 Veterans. I should add that the Fusilier Museum Bury do not hold records of individual veterans and they too would refer you to the National Archives.
Sadly we are in this case unable to assist further.
