L/Cpl. George Webster
British Army 7th (Service) Btn. South Staffordshire Regiment
from:Aston Birmingham
(d.9th Aug 1915)
George landed at Suvla Bay on 7th August 1915 and as noted on his Soldiers Effects Record as Died of Wounds on or since 9th August 1915 aged 25, possibly during the attack on Hill 70 Chocolate Hill. George is noted on the Gallipoli Memorial as there is no known grave. I have been advised that the 9th August is noted as his date of death as this would have been the last day he would have officially been seen alive by someone in the Regiment.
George left behind a young wife Annie, and two small children. He was the younger brother of my Great Grandfather CSM Frederick George Webster DCM of 2 RWF who was one of the Old Contemtables, fought all through the war and survived.
If anyone has any further info or photos of George please let me know.
