Remembered with honour Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial: Panel 37.
He enlisted in London; was entitled to the Victory, British War and 1914 Star medals, his qualifying date being 16 August 1914, and was killed in action. Unfortunately, George’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.
