Pte. George Anthony
Army 15th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers
from:9 Kingsbury Road, Balls Pond Road, Islington
(d.2nd Nov 1918)
My Grandfather on my mother's side, George Anthony, served in the 15th Bn, Lancashire Fusiliers. I do not have much information except that at the time he came from 9 Kingsbury Road, Balls Pond Road, Islington, London and was originally in the Middlesex Regiment. Presumably he must have been drafted in after the Salford Pals were depleted. He was killed 9 days before the cessation of hostilities during the Somme/Loos campaign and has no known grave. He is remembered at the Vis-en-Artois Memorial.
