224419 Cpl. George Battrick British Army 2nd Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers from:Dunstable, Beds George Battrick , my great uncle, was born in Wandsworth, London in 1895 & joined the Army in September 1914 while his family were living in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. I believe he may have been a member of another regiment at the beginning of the war looking after horses, so how he became a member of the Lancashire Fusiliers is a mystery to me. In March 1915 he served on the Western Front, remaining there until the end of the war. He took part in many bloody actions at Ypres, the Somme, Arras & Armentieres, survived the war to marry Ella in 1921. They had two daughters & a son but George died in hospital in 1959.
