Territorial Forces in Manchester/Salford

[Piscator]

I'm trying to establish which Regiments in the Manchester and Salford area's had a TF attachement prior to 1914. This includes any Artillery, ASC, or infantry Battalions, plus any info on Regimental Supply Trains and their consistancy, also where were they based?

Hope the following is of use, I think most information will also be found at this website. The details below were taken from The Territorial Force 1914 by Westlake:

Infantry:

The Lancashire Fusiliers:

5th Bn at Bury, 6th Bn at Rochdale, 7th and 8th Bns at Salford

The Manchester Regiment:

5th Bn at Wigan, 6th Bn at Hule, Manchester, 7th Bn at Manchester, 8th Bn at Ardwick, 9th Bn at Ashton, 10th Bn at Oldham

Artillery:

2nd East Lancashire Brigade at Manchester

Engineers:

East Lancashire Divisional Engineers, all units at Manchester

Yeomanry:

Duke of Lancaster's Own

Army Service Corps:

East Lancashire Divisional T & S Column, all units at Manchester

Hope this helps

Many thanks Wienand, I think the areas that interest me now are the Divisional T & S Column and the Artillery, I'll now have a look round and see if I can find out which company's were attached to the various units
