Additional Information
*1 There is one George Webb listed on the Regimental memorial. However, there are three George Webbs listed in the Soldiers Died in the Great War database as 'formerly' in the Hertfordshire Regiment - all are privates. Although all are listed in the CWGC their connection to the Hertfords is not confirmed, but this is not necessarily surprising as the CWGC does not usually list previous regiments in which a man served. The listing in SDITGW is perhaps a little suspicious as they have consecutive Herts service numbers – 36513, 36514 and 36515, which seems a little too coincidental, as does the fact that they all are listed as subsequently serving in the Princess Charlotte of Wales’s (Royal Berkshire Regiment), albeit 36514 in the 7th Battalion and the others ion the 7th. It is therefore not clear which man is listed on the memorial. For further information on the other men are George Frederick Cooper, who seved as George Webb 36514 and George Webb 36515. Unfortunately, George’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing. There is a brief article about George in the West Herts and Watford Observer dated 4 November 1916.
