My grandfather, George Whiteley, was born in 1892 in Sheffield. In 1913, after joining the army, he became Lance Corporal G Whiteley of 1st Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment, and the paperwork I have indicates he was in India. In June 1914 he underwent Transport training at Inbbulpur. He was listed as wounded in 1915 in France and Flanders. In 1917 he was based at a Musketry Camp at Whitburn with the 378th Labour Company. On 26th of September 1917 he married my grandmother in Sunderland, County Durham.
