Pte. George Grayson
British Army Infantry Seaforth Highlanders
from:Liverpool
(d.19th Jan 1944)
My granddad George Grayson was only 28 when he died on the 19 Jan 1944 at the Battle of Monte Cassino, leaving his 3 young boys, my dad only 3 years old, orphans and his wife bereft. She never married again. Granddad had a blood clotting condition and should never have been allowed to join up, but wanted to and so did, sadly, at the cost of his life.
We would love to find out out more about the circumstances around his death. Rumours are there was an explosion, and that he died in the field hospital. We always think of him and will forever be grateful for the sacrifice he made for his country. Never forgotten granddad, always loved and thought of.
