249977 Pte. George Arthur Jeffs British Army 7th Battalion Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment from:Frankley Green, Worcestershire (d.18th September 1918) From family and local information, George Jeffs was a farm employee at Park Farm Frankley. He was a skilled ploughman and horse handler. When his horses were drafted into Army Service he volunteered, such was his passion for his horses. Apparently he was reunited with his horses after undergoing Army training. George served in the 7th Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment. His letters home said his horses were working well as expected although he also had other horses in his care. George is remembered in his local family Church of St Leonards. An Oak memorial still hangs in his Old Village School now private dwelling. As we near 100 years George has no known grave. I am trying to secure further information how he died, although we have two service numbers, we are unable to find archive records. Family descendants have photographs of George his parent's brothers and sisters. Thank you for reading about this very humble young man who gave his life for his country and his horses.
