George Tracey
Army Recruiting Office
We believe that George Tracey served in the Boar war, Kitchener's relief of Kartoum, he often told about fighting the "fuzzy wuzzies" when I was a small boy. We think he joined as a boy soldier, as he was born in 1855, most prob joined 1870s, married in feb 1893 aged 37, I have found him in 1901 cencus in London with wife & 3 children, I think he served in India at some, he also seemed to know a lot about West Indies. He served with teh Durham Light nfrantry. He tried to join up in First World War but to old, so he worked in the recruiting office in London. I am 80 yrs old, served in World War 2 in Far East, I would love get info about him before I pop off.
