from:Cobh, Co Cork, Ireland

Timothy joined up in August 1915 at age 47.
He had lived in the town Cobh/ Queenstown where bodies of the RMS Lusitania victims were brought that summer (sunk by a U-boat in May), so that might have been the catalyst for his enlisting, as he left his family of 5 children behind.
He was moved to the Ypres salient in December and went on a three man night patrol a week later but didn't return.
I'm surprised he was picked for front line duty and patrol given his age, but this is all I've been able to find out so far.
He was my grand uncle and I remember his sister, Anne, being very bitter about his loss. His sisters became active republicans (ie. anti-British) subsequently in Ireland's war of independence.

Pte. George William "Sonny" Fogg
British Army 1st/6th Btn. Duke of Wellingtons West Riding Regiment
from:Shoreditch, London
(d.11th Oct 1918)
I grew up with the story of Uncle Sonny who had gone off to fight in the war and had never come back. He gave his mother a small, gold and sapphire ring to ease their parting. I have his ring now - it has been passed through the family as has his story. My grandmother didn't know what had happened to her brother, and where, or if, he was buried, only that he had been lost, killed in a battle somewhere in France. I spent many hours looking for him with little to go on, only the assumption that his name must have been George - the same as his father, hence the "Sonny" nickname. When I found Sonny's service record I was so excited that I didn't even notice the "Killed 11/10/18" scrawled across it in chinagraph pencil. Having this information, I was able to track him through the War Graves Commission. My first visit to his grave in Wellington Cemetery Rieux en Cambresis was one of the most moving moments of my life. I am so happy to have found him, only sad that it was too late for my Grandmother to know, but time enough for me to share his story with my own children. It is a comfort to us all to know that his sacrifice is recognised and that he is remembered in such a beautiful and peaceful place. He will be remembered in our hearts too.
34137 Private George William (Sonny) Fogg served with the 1st/6th Battalion, Duke of Wellingtons West Riding Regiment during WW1 and died age 20, on the 11th October 1918. He is buried in Wellington Cemetery Rieux en Cambresis. He was the son of George James and Harriet Eliza Fogg, of 22, Fellows St., Haggerston, London.
