Pte. George Henry Newport
British Army Mechanical Transport Army Service Corps
from:Huyton, Liverpool
My paternal Great Grandfather George Henry Newport served in WWI in the Army Services Corps Mechanical Transport div. He was aged 43 on enlistment in 1915. I'd like to find out more about what he did and if he was based in his hometown of Liverpool or went abroad during the war. He died in 1940 in Liverpool, the next year his son Gerard Newport died in the battle of Crete at age 19 years WWII.
Editor's Note:- His medal record card shows that he served in France, qualifying for the 1915 star. He commenced his service in France on 22nd December 1915.
