I have always been interested in WW1, but it was seeing the play "Accrington Pals" that got me interested in the "Pals" battalions. The only other event I can think of with such a devastating effect on a small area of a city was the loss of the Titanic, some 800 of whose crew came I believe from one area of Southampton.
