Pte. George William "Bernard " Marshall

British Army 1/2 East Lancs Field Amb. Royal Army Medical Corps

from:Levenshulme, Manchester

My grandfather George Marshall went to Egypt with 42 Div on the 10th of September 1914. Battling the Turks on the Suez and then Gallipoli where he was wounded in Third Battle of Krithia on 4 June,1915. He was evacuated to Imtarfa hosital, Malta for 3 months and returned to Egypt to advance in Sinai to El Arise battling the retreating Turks under the command of German officers (as at Gallipoli). He landed at Marseilles in March 1917 and remained with Division until end of war at Hautmont and demobilised March 1920. His brother Thomas served with the 3/1 East Lancs Field ambulance

When I knew him, George had an amazing smile, chuckle and young blue eyes, he hardly ever mentioned the war.
