George Frederick Doughty
Army Warwickshire Yeomanry
My Great Grand Father was enlisted into the Warwickshire Yeomanry in 1916. The picture included is of him George Frederick Doughty. He never made it into battle, during his training he was kicked in the head by his horse. He was medically discharged "unfit for duty". Seven years later he died of Brain paralysis. He fathered six children, three after his accident. The distress he must have felt knowing all his mates and colleagues were suffering those conditions. I often think of the horse, although my Great Grandad never entered battle, did the horse? Did the horse get through the ordeal or was it one of the many that got slaughtered? I feel that George.F.Doughty was still a casualty of that Bloody conflict.
