On This Day 108 Years Ago...

a young 18 year old boy was killed in the basement of a house in France by an artillery shell. That boy was my Great Uncle George and I've only recently learnt his story. It's a sad one, but it has some lovely bits too.

That's him in France, likely near Villers Bretonneux.

He was known as the Baby of The Battalion, so once I read that little titbit I had to know why and learn his story. I've been researching him for the past month or so and I've written down some of it here if you're keen
