Pte. George Clark

British Army 18th Btn. Northumberland Fusiliers

from:Gateshead

(d.8th Jan 1917)

Training at Salisbury Plain (George is centre, back row)

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.
