Pte. George Richard "Ginger" Thompson
British Army 6th Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment
My Grandad ended up joining the East Yorkshire Regiment in 1912. He was born in London, the tale I have been told is that he tried to join up but was to young, so he left London to go up to Yorkshire and enlisted in to the East Yorkshire Regiment. But I am not sure how true that is. But he did live in London and did join Regiment.
He served in 6th Battalion from 16th of February 1912 until he was discharged on the 11th of March 1919.
He saw service Mediterranean from 30th of June 1915 to 2nd of July 1916 and France from 3rd of July 1916 to 18th of April 1918.
