Pte. George Barton
British Army 15th Btn. Hampshire Regiment
from:Basingstoke, Hants
(d.7th Jun 1917)
I believe George Barton, my grandfather took part in the battle of Messines as he was with the 15th Batt., Hampshire Regiment in June 1917. He was born in Basingstoke in 1858 and lived at 20 Victoria Street there with his wife Harriet Ann and three children. The 1911 census tells us he was employed as a Carter contracted to a coal merchant.
