George was the oldest of the 3 brothers, a 22 year Army man, all I know of his service career was that he was captured at Dunkirk and spent all the war in a prison camp. It's been said that he was born very shortly after my Grandparents were married. I believe he was born in Barnsley Yorks,

Residence

My Grandfather also called George was quite a character. He was an activist for the early Union on Mineworkers at the time when many mines were privately owned. His activities got him banned from working in the Yorkshire coalfields so he moved to the Lancashire coalfields, then the Kent coalfields where the same thing happened. He eventually settled for sometime in the Scottish coalfields at Blantyre near Glasgow where my Father was born, The Family moved back to their roots in Wombwell, Yorkshire where I and my Sister were born.

He served in the Royal Navy during the First World War and was aboard H.M.S Warrior when she was in action in the Battle of Jutland. The ship was sunk in the action and he was rescued by a damaged Cruiser, no name I am afraid, which was retiring from the battle, heavily damaged. I was told that this ship actually sank of the coast of Norfolk within sight of land and all those aboard swam the last 10 miles or so to land. I believe that somewhere my Mother has his medals and service record.
