Pte. George Bentley

British Army 10th Btn. Duke of Wellington's Regiment

from:Rotherham

(d.16th Oct 1917)

My great grand-father George Bentley lost his life at the battle of Passchendaele, a month before the battle of Passchendaele ended. His body was never found and he is memoralised at Tyne Cot on the wall of the lost. I hope one day to visit the cemetery and pay my respects. I never knew about him until I started to research my family tree some 12 years ago. I only knew about my grandparents (his child and family).

I am so proud of him, that he gave his life so that generations since had a free life to live. We all owe him, and men like him, so much. We should do all we can to uphold this freedom.
