British Army 475 (South Midland) Field Coy. Royal Engineers
from:Bristol
George Henry Stroud was the husband of Lillian May Stroud of 7 Walker St. Kingsdown, Bristol and both were born at Bristol. Together they had a son Charles and twin daughters Doris and Flora.
Doris was my grandmother and her stories of George were that he was a handsome funny man who used to come home from service and carry both his daughters upon each shoulder up and down the street.
In his lifetime, both his daughters were alive but in 1927, Flora died of meningitis. Doris lived until her 90's. Doris always said Henry was actually called "Harry". He died of wounds on 21st November 1920, aged 39.
