L/Cpl. George Frederick Marchant
British Army Worcestershire Regiment
from:Battersea, London
George Marchant was a professional soldier from 1902 - 1912 serving in India with the Gurka regiment.
He joined the Worcestershire Regiment in 1914 and served until seriously wounded at Ypres and returned to Great Britain. He refused to have his arm amputated and eventually recovered from his wounds.
He re-enlisted in 1916 in The Labour Corps again serving on the Front. He was eventually badly wounded again on The Somme and returned to Great Britain.
I would dearly love to find out which Company of the Labour Corps he served with.
He did talk of the Chinese soldiers to my Grandmother and Father.
