207419 George "Spoe" Fletcher British Army Gloucestershire Regiment I wish to add to your Northwick Park page.
My Grandfather, George Fletcher, originally from Chipping, Campden, served served in the Gloucesters during the Great War. He worked at Northwick Park before and during WW2. His chief occupation, I am told, was looking after the horses. He was a crack shot and used to help make ends meet in WW2 by a bit of poaching. He was a first class shot with a catapult and would kill rabbits and sell them on to the Americans at the Park. He would also lay bets on hitting small targets such as cigarette packets on window sills etc. Should anyone recall George "Spoe" Fletcher I would be very pleased to hear from them.
