205355 Pte. George Harry Lawson British Army 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment from:Darnall, Sheffield (d.21st Aug 1918) George Harry Lawson was my uncle and the first son of George & Martha Lawson and my father's only brother. I discovered the whereabouts of his grave in Queen's Cemetery, Bucquoy on the CWGC webite and visited it for the first time in 2004. The visit was an intensely moving experience especially as it was very likely that I was the first family member ever to have visited it in almost 90 years. I visited the National Records Office in Kew in the hope of finging his service records but came away dissappointed. I believe that George was initially enlisted in the KOYLI and must have been transferred to the Lincolnshire Regiment. It seems that he was killed during the Allied offensive in the Acre Valley north of Albert Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
