Pte. George Ebenezer Bertram Sinclair
British Army 101st Coy. Machine Gun Corps
from:Gateshead
My brother and I have Grandad, George Sinclair's notebook including instructions on firing forward bearings and his Barrage Orders for 20th of September 1917 at the Battle of Menin Road (from Mt Sorrel). We also have his bible with personal notes from that time.
He told a story of walking through Gateshead years later and needing a match for his pipe, he kicked an empty matchbox which turned out to be full, this reminded him of a similar experience in battle involving empty ammo boxes.
