Service History
|
We have not located a service record for George not could we find any medal cards or rolls. We cannot tell why or when he was transferred from the Devonshire Regiment to the Labour Corps, but it was most often because of being medically unfit. We know from his war gratuity amount that the enlisted within 30 days of the 7 October 1917. The absence of any medal records indicates that he never served outside of the UK. The 620th Labour Corps was Headquartered in Warwick which means that George would have been working on farms fairly local to Hockley Heath. |
