George Grant was my great uncle. He was born on 6th October 1896 at Sheppey, Kent, the fourth child and third son of Lewis and Fanny Grant. By the age of fourteen George had joined the Royal Field Artillery, 43rd Brigade, and was recorded at Woolwich Barracks in the 1911 census. He was a trumpeter. By the time the First War started he was in 32nd Brigade, 27th Battery, and also spent two years with the Brigade's Ammunition Column between 1915 and 1917. He received the Military Medal for bravery in the field, and the General Service Medal with Iraq clasp.
After the war George married Minnie and had two sons, one of whom described him as "always the life and soul of the party". He died in Brighton.
