Pte. George Price
British Army 5th Btn. A Coy. South Staffordshire Regiment
from:Wall Heath
(d.13th Oct 1915)
George Price was my Grandfather Richard's older brother, they enlisted together. They both came from a large family who lived in Wall Heath Staffordshire.
I have my grandfather's three WWI service medals, a photo plus a moving letter he wrote to his parents on the 19th October 1915 which in a round about way breaks the news to his parents that George has been killed. My grandfather would have been about 17 years of age and George was 19. George was killed in action on 13th October 1915 at the Battle of Loos. He has no known grave.
