Pte. George Herbert Preen
British Army 4th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment
from:Sheffield
Very little is known of my granddad's wartime exploits. I think George Preen served through most of the conflict and received the three usual medals, and he was one of the many who was reluctant to talk about his experiences. Before the war, he had been a golf caddy and after the war he became a golf professional. My granddad died when I was just three years old, so I never really got to talk to him about the war though I do have a recollection of someone saying he had been cited for a VC. Sorry that I have very little information my granddad, who died in 1960.
