Pte. George Clark
British Army 18th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Gateshead
(d.8th Jan 1917)
George Clark was my great grandfather. He volunteered for service and joined the 18th Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers which became a Pioneer Unit. He died near Bois-Grenier which is a small village near to Armentiers. We were told that he was killed by one of our own shells while digging a fall back trench behind the front lines. Had the honour to visit his grave at Brewery Orchard cemetery at Bois-Grenier two years ago. It is an experience I will never forget.
