Cpl. George Wilkins
British Army 16th Bn Royal Welch Fusiliers
from:Birmingham
(d.5th July 1916)
George Wilkins was my great-uncle - my father (b.1911) remembered him as a big man who threw him in the air - and caught him! - when he was on leave.. GW was killed, I presume in Mametz Wood, and has no known grave. I have his campaign medal. I am going to go to Thiepval to pay my respects.
