Pte. George "Jack" Glover
British Army 7th Battalion East Kent Regiment
from:Shuart, St Nicholas At Wade
My grandfather Jack Glover survived that horrific war and went on to become a regular soldier in 1919 and was demobbed on the 14th of October 1924. He served in Ireland between 1919 and 1922, in Constaninople 23rd April 1922 to 29th September 1923 where on 10th June 1923 he was relieved of his Lance Corporal stripe for being drunk!! He was at Gibralter 30th September 1923 to 29th September 1924 where on 11th August 1924 he was drunk in the Barracks and spent 8 days confined to Barracks and fined 10/-.
He was gassed during WWI and suffered with bronchitus and pneumonia up to his death in 1972. He refused to say much about his war years although I did get a few snippets. During WWII he served as a Special Constable.
