Pte. George Burridge
British Army 9th Btn. Royal Fusiliers
from:Kempston, Bedfordshire
(d.9th Apr 1917)
George Burridge died aged 37, during the First Battle of the Scarpe during the Arras offensive in the spring of 1917.
He was a brickworker, married with six children who left his home and family to fight with a new service battalion while in his mid 30s, the reason to which I have yet to establish. He is remembered on the the Arras Memorial.
