Served with “C” Company and was wounded on 19th August 1916 at Bellacourt during a German bombardment of the billets

George was from Matlock Bath and enlisted into the Notts and Derby in July 1915. Following training (with either the 2/6th or 3/6th) he arrived in France in 1916 (only entitled to a Pair) and served with the 1/6th Battalion. He was wounded during a bombardment of “C” Company billets – see here.

George was later posted to the Labour Corps presumably after his wounding.
