Pte. George Hudson

British Army 7th Btn Highland Light Infantry

from:Rutherglen, Lanarkshire

(d.17th Jul 1915)

George Hudson was my Grandfather. He signed up in May 1915 and arrived in Gallipoli on 3rd July. He died of wounds on 17th July, probably wounded in the offensive at Achi Baba on 12-13 July. Before the war he had been a miner, recorded in the 1911 census as looking after pit ponies underground. Working down the pit makes him a hero in my eyes. Dying as he did in such a pointless, badly organized campaign as Gallipoli makes him a hero twice over.
