George Bennett

British Army Royal Warwickshire

from:Birmingham

My grandad George Bennett lied about his age and in 1914 joined the Army and at 15 saw some real bad horrors. But, also he told me the stories of singing carols and playing football with the Germans at Christmas. He was a lucky one he came, when just before the end of the war he had is eye shot out and went home and became one of the wounded blues. Life went on and he became a caretaker of City School in Whittinton Oval School in Sheldon.

We feel really lucky that he was one of the lucky ones he lost a lot of his friends he went out with. Thank you Grandad and to all the other Hero's of the Great War He received a Certificate from the King
