223552 Sgt. George Patience British Army 4th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders from:Avoch (d.7th May 1915) It will sadly be 100 years since George Patience was killed at Aubers Ridge just after dawn on the 7th May 1915. George had signed up several times whilst still under age, only to be taken home by his father. Four members of his family - two of his great nieces, his great nephew, and his great, great nephew will travel to his resting place at Souchez to play tribute to him on the 7th May this year. We will also visit the exact location where he was killed. George's parents also had to endure the pain of losing a second son, William, who was drowned in action when HMS Flirt was sunk by the Germans in the Channel in November 1916. Coming from the North of Scotland, it will be a long journey for us, but one that will be hugely worthwhile and very emotional.
