221757 Pte. George Bennett British Army 9th Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment from:Stafford (d.April 1917) The family story is that George Bennett, who worked on the railway, lied about his age so he could fight for King and Country, aged 17. His Mother, my Grandmother, never got over it. My Mother told me how she would sit and rock in her chair crying at the loss of her only Son. My mother was born in 1917 and never knew George but kept his memory alive. I have done the same, and I have told my children and grandchildren the same. We shall never forget him and all those fallen in War George Bennett died in the 1st Canadian Casualty Clearing Station and is interred at the Aubigny Communal Cemetery Extension.
