Pte. George William Sweeting
British Army 2/5th Btn. Gloucestershire Regiment
from:23 Chatterton Sq., Redcliffe, Bristol
(d.1st Nov 1918)
George Sweeting is my great uncle. When I was a child of five years old, I would look at this photo of a man in uniform. Many years later I asked my grandmother who he was. She said he was her brother who had died in the Great War, he was only 23 years old.
It was many years later when I decided I needed to find him. I searched and found him in France in the Cross Roads Cemetery, Fontaine-au-Bois, with the inscription `Abide with me'.
