He enlisted in 1916 and his brother Jack was with him at the last. His death was reported in the May 17th edition of the Altrincham Guardian. His memorial inscription reads - 'A life nobly sacrificed. Greater love hath no man than this'. Unfortunately it has not been possible to ascertain the circumstances of Georges death.
