George's Story

My wonderful Father. Even though injured he continued his bravery by rescuing a child from a burning house and I have a parchment scroll commemorating this. His friends in the Green Howards Regiment collected to help him cope and to say thank you and I still have the letter that accompanied this, he is not forgotten
