  • A group photo.
    This photograph was given to the family and shows George on the extreme right of the group. It is believed to be men of the 8th Battalion Suffolk Regiment, prior to the Battalion being disbanded. George is a Corporal so that would place it in the right period, around 1917.

  • George and friends before the war
    A formal studio group with George, 2nd from the left standing, taken in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Judging by Georges age I think this must have been taken not long before the war and I have wondered if this was George with his friends just before enlisting.

  • A group of NCO's.
    This photo was taken in France late in the war when George, seated fronted left, was a Sergeant in the 11th Battalion Suffolk Regiment. He is pictured with other NCO's, presumably from the same Company. The man back left appears to be a Pioneer Sergeant - see collar badges. Several men have medal ribbons, wound stripes and long service chevrons.

  • Some of Georges personal effects.
    Georges privately made ID tag, worn around the wrist, giving name, number, religion and battalion, his cap badge and a regimental police armband. It is assumed that the latter was his, but there is no evidence to show he was a regimental policeman.
