NOT FORGOTTEN
George Henry Berry enrolled with the Durham Light Infantry 2nd Battalion in WW1
Very sadly George lost his life barely two months after landing in France, having sustained a head injury, whilst in the trenches. Only 34yrs of age George left a wife and four young children.
George is my hubby's Great Grandfather.
This tin was passed onto me some years ago, when I was researching my hubby's side of the family. It's a chocolate box, given to the troops. It contained these medals, although I'm not entirely sure if those at the bottom were George's.
For the family, like many other's, it was a very traumatic time.
George's younger brother enrolled secretly under a different name, as he was underage, into the Gordon Highlanders.
Having been brought home, he was stationed in Scotland and returned to the war field a year later. He too sadly lost his life, at the tender age of 19yrs
Kept in our hearts
