Pte. George Arnold
British Army 11th Btn. Cheshire Regiment
from:23 Geneva Road, Wallasey
(d.3rd July 1916)
My grandfather, George Arnold never saw his youngest son (my father, Duncan Arnold) because he died in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. This upset my father throughout his life and in turn has upset me.
My father told me he was in the machine gun section and was shot by a German sniper. I, in turn, (like so many others) had my grandfather taken away from me. Something which has upset me the whole of my life. At this date (November 2018) I am 71 years of age yet I still grieve. May he rest in peace.
