Hi Tyrone,

There seem to be 6 possible men in the South Lancs in WW1, going by the medal cards

Go to http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/medals.asp, click the link for search and enter his name plus South Lancashire. This'll show you the possibles.

If you order one of them Tyrone - you'll probably get all of them - they come 6 to a sheet - then you can follow along and decide which one is yours !!

Edit - I imagine it would be one of the cards with the larger numbers - do you have any other information at all ? - photographs - family stories etc ??! 
If you can find out his battalion - I could probably give you some more information - I have quite a bit for soldiers who died - but you're very lucky .... your William came home !!

Got a wedding photo with him in his best uniform. Though you can just make out the collar badges

Hi Tyrone

You may be able to eliminate some of those William PENNINGTONs in the medal cards by looking to see if they died http://www.cwgc.org
