Pte. George Wishart
United States Army
from:Barebrecks, Orphir, Orkney Isles
My grandfather, George Wishart, was born on 10th of Feb 1889, in Orphir, Orkney Isles. He went to Canada, then USA, about 1906. On 5th of June 1917, in Kellogg, Idaho he joined the United States Army and returned to Europe to fight in the trenches. He remarked that the trenches were dirty and full of lice. After the War he was dismissed and visited Orkney, where he found out that his brother William had died and his father needed someone to take over the farm. He stayed and did not return to the USA.
