Pte George Horace Bailey
British Army 1/5th Btn. Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
from:Worksop
(d.1st Jul 1916)
I have George Bailey's memorial plaque. It has been handed down to me from his wife who never had children of her own, but looked after my mother during and after the second world war. She was a wonderful woman and was in all, apart from blood, a massive part of our family. As she and George never had children she treated us as her own. She married George at a very young age, probably due to the fear of not seeing each other again with him going to war. As George has no next of kin that I know of, I feel honoured to take the place of his great-grandson and remember him for the sacrifice he gave for me. I would love to know more about him and his pals, if anyone has anymore information.
