Pte. George Bentley
British Army 10th Btn. Duke of Wellington's Regiment
from:Rotherham
(d.16th Oct 1917)
My great grand-father George Bentley lost his life at the battle of Passchendaele, a month before the battle of Passchendaele ended.
His body was never found and he is memoralised at Tyne Cot on the wall of the lost. I hope one day to visit the cemetery and pay my respects. I never knew about him until I started to research my family tree some 12 years ago. I only knew about my grandparents (his child and family).
I am so proud of him, that he gave his life so that generations since had a free life to live. We all owe him, and men like him, so much.
We should do all we can to uphold this freedom.
