215622 Sgt. George Noulton British Army Lancashire Fusiliers (d.27th Sep 1918 ) George Noulton was born in Lambeth, London around 1884, son of James and Annie (Wheeler). Husband of Emily Eliza (Page) at the time of WW1 lived in Battersea, London
My great uncle George Noulton, enlisted before the first world war in the rifle brigade. His serial number was 6008. I have tried to get his service record but was told it was possibly destroyed in the bombing of the second world war. I have found that he was a corporal. It seems for some reason he was transferred to the Lancashire fusiliers, Service No. 61241 at some time, where he was promoted to Sergeant. I believe he was wounded at some time. His record says he returned to the trenches and was killed in action on twenty seventh of September 1918 and is buried at Trois Arbes Cemetery, Steenwerck, France.
Additional Information: | I am the great Grandson of Emily's brother Harry, do you have any photos of Sgt Noulton? I can send you the war diary and medal card for him if you don't have them already, and his concentration record (where his body was found).Jeremy Page
