This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Titanic Bandmaster's Funeral Procession Retraced
From the May 18, 2012, Lancashire Telegraph "Titanic bandmaster Wallace Hartley's funeral procession to be retraced in Colne today." //// Wallace Hartley was buried in his hometown on May 18, 1912, and some 40,000 paid their respects. That was almost double the number of people then living in the town. //// His body was one of three band members recovered from the site of the sinking and the only one brought home. //// Today, there will be a retracing of the route the funeral procession took, ending with a memorial service at his grave. The procession will begin at the Bethel Chapel and end at the Colne Cemetery. ////
