Cpl. George Henry "Gerry" Measures
British Army 124th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:38 Broomfield Lane, Mansfield
My grandfather George Measures served with the Royal Garrison Artillery and I have researched his military history as far as as I am able. The information I have posted is shown in copy records provided by the M O D.
His length of service is given as 10th of January 1916 to 16th of August 1917. On 2nd of December 1916, he was admitted to the 11th Stationary Hospital in Rouen with a gunshot wound to his left arm. He was discharged on 16th of August 1917 as ceasing to fulfill medical requirements. He was issued with the British War Medal and Victory Medal. He died at Leicester General Hospital in 1956.
