Pte. George Robert White

British Army 10th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment

from:East Leeds

(d.1st July 1916)

George White was killed in action, attempting to take the village of Fricourt. He attacked at 0730hrs in one of the first two company's that made it over no mans land to their objective at Konig Trench. Unfortunately he was isolated along with other members of his company as their backup, the third and fourth company's were cut down by machine guns. They continued hand to hand fighting and bombing throughout the morning, but George was unfortunately killed. He was originally buried in Hare Lane Trench and was moved after the war to Dantzig Alley. Always remembered. RIP.
