Pte. George Henry Mason
British Army 12th (Bermondsey) Battalion East Surrey Regiment
from:London
My paternal grandfather George Mason enlisted on 25th October 1915 and underwent training ready for deployment to France. It seems he was medically discharged in January 1916 just before the battalion travelled to France in May 1916 and so never saw active service. I'm proud of him for enlisting and undergoing his training I have been informed that he was keen to fight for his country. Sadly there is no record of him after the date of 1919 when my father was born and so sadly I do not know when he died. I am currently researching my paternal ancestry and especially military history as my father served in the Second World War and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his bravery.
