from:Kiveton Park

George just out of the trenches weeks before he was killed.

My Dad's Uncle George Lauder was always a favorite topic of his. He has photos of George in France from 1914 to 1917. He has no known grave and is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial. My dad was a Wilks, George was my grans elder brother. George played cricket for the same team as my grandad and possibly this is how my granddad Lance met Beatrice. George will be remembered this year and each year to 2017 with far moire poignancy than ever before.

George served with the 2nd Battalion, Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during WW1 and was killed, aged 22, on the 25th November 1917. He is remembered on the Tyne Cot Memorial, near Ypres, Belgium. He was the Son of John Lauder, of 190 Wales Rd., Sheffield.
