Lt. Frederick StGeorge-Yorke MC.
British Army Highland Light Infantry
Frederick St George Yorke was my great grandfather. I don't have much information regarding his service record.
I do know that he was injured, contracted gangrene, and one leg was amputated. He was awarded the Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry after an explosion which had destroyed a post. 2nd Lieutenant St. George Yorke led forward a small reinforcement under heavy fire and assisted in re-organising the defence' - in April 1916.
