L/Cpl. George Edward Duke

British Army 1st/7th (Robin Hoods) Battalion Sherwood Foresters

from:Nottingham

(d.1st July 1916 )

George Duke was my paternal great grand uncle, killed in action at the Battle of the Somme on the 1st July 1916 aged 20 years old. He is buried in Foncquevillers Cemetary, Pas De Calais Nord.

Lance Corporal Duke was a pre-war Territorial soldier having enlisted in 1913. I also served with the last of the Territorial infantry line of the Robin Hood Foresters between 1974 and 1988 in D. Company 3WFR as had my father before me. I hope to be at Fonquevillers to pay my respects on the Centenary of his death on the 1st July 2016.
