Sgt. George Firmin
British Army 11th Btn. Hampshire Regiment
from:Deptford, London
George Firmin served from September 1914 to February 1919 in 11th Battalion, 5th Platoon. He was wounded twice, latterly at Cambrai in November 1917. He survived the War, and afterwards became Chief Meat Buyer for Thomas Borthwicks (Vestys) and Smithfield Meat Market, London.
I have his Sergeant's stripes (he returned after 2nd wounding to Army Service Corps, service number: M/410412), and I also have his campaign medals. I have his photo record of the complete 11th Battalion, probably taken in late 1915, with all 16 platoons etc. All officers are named, ranks are not.
