Cpl. George Whittaker
British Army 6th Btn. Cheshire Regiment
from:Comberbach
My grandfather, George Whittaker, previously served in the Indian Army and during WW1 signed up with the 6th Cheshire Regiment at St Margaret's Camp, Heaton Park, Manchester. My mother told me that he was poison gassed in France in 1918 and came to convalesce at Dalmeney, Ramsey, Isle of Man. He went on to live in Hightown, near Southport, and, because of his health, had to work outside as a gardener.
