Biography
George appears on the School War Memorial, confirming that he attended the school. Parish records suggest only one man of this name who could have served, and he was born on May 16th 1898 to Nathan and Ellen (née Odell). He would have been sixteen at the outbreak of war. Baptism records list two children: Arthur Charles (b 1892) and George (b 1898). His elder brother Arthur also served and survived.
