Circumstances of Death
| George is listed as "death presumed" on 28th June 1918. Unfortnately none of the books, publications or other information regarding the 12th Battalion which was part of 79th Infantry Brigade, 26th Division contain any reference as to what they were engaged in at that time and therefore we are unable to comment further. |
