205977 Private, then Lance Corpo George Wilding Mons Star British Army 7th (Service) South Lancashire from:Island House, Anderton, Cheshire (d.22nd/23rd Nov 1916) George Wilding was my brave great uncle, the only one of 5 brothers to be killed in action. He's buried at the Caterpillar Valley Cemetery on The Somme. I wish I knew more about the circumstances of his death but assume it related to the fighting around High Wood. He had been made a lance corporal on 8 March 1916 and had been injured in the February of the same year, when he accidentally grabbed a bayonet, whilst trying to break a fall from a parapet. He was 22. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
