Pte. George Simpson
British Army 1st Btn. London Regiment
from:21 Wardlaw Place, Edinburgh
George Simpson was born at 21 Wardlaw Place in Edinburgh on 11th September 1899. At the arrival of the war, he was working as a turner for the foundry at Alex Mather & Son on Dalry Road.
He was in the 1st London Regiment. In among the paperwork is a personal letter of a friend we assume he met during his time in the army, named Harold "Harry" Edgington, residing at the Hope and Anchor Pub on Crowndale Road in Camden Town. We do not have much history on where he served, but one letter does refer to time in France, and we have photographs of the battalion in Mons.
