8: The Regiment That Vanished

The story that follows, still widely known throughout central Lancashire, explains why the folk in this part of England have never forgotten the kindness of an order of French monks and continue to buy and consume produce from their monasteries as a measure of their gratitude.

It is not the only First World War legend involving vanishing soldiers. There is also a tale about a regiment from Norfolk, known as the Sandringham Pals, who were fighting in Gallipoli in August 1915. The soldiers were seen marching up a hillside into a low-lying mist – but they never came out again. After the war, despite attempts by the British government to trace the missing men, they were never found.
