Sig. George Harold Linegar MID
Royal Naval Reserve HMS Prince Eugene
(d.10th May 1918)
George Linegar was a Signaller. He had been injured, knowing that he would not survive these injuries, he volunteered to go onto HMS Vindictive and destroy this ship in the harbour at Oostende Belgium to stop the German Navy leaving the port.
To this day we are relatives of George we have his photo up on the wall and we have passed his story on to our children and now we have passed it on to our grandchildren.
May George and all the brave personal that gave their lives for all generations to follow rest in eternal peace brave people.
