Pte. George Henry Rich
British Army 5th Btn. Dorset Regiment
from:Southwark, London
The only history I have is from my (now long dead) mother, as my grandfather died when I was only ten. He signed up the day after War was declared, leaving a pregnant wife (my mother) and small son. He became a machine-gunner. Took part in Gallipoli landings, which according to brief research places him in 5th Batallion. Served throughout the war, miraculously without injury. Died peacefully circa. 1958 in Whyteleafe, Surrey.
