George married Gertrude Florence Marsland at St Mary's Church, Painswick, Gloucestershire on 18th April 1912. Their son Roy Howard was born in 1913 in Bromley.
At the outbreak of war it was decided that, because his younger brother Herbert wasn't married he would enlist and George stay to assist his father in the business. However George could not be content with serving as a Special Constable and a Platoon Commander in the Volunteer Training Corps so in March 1915 he applied for a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Army Service Corps.
After a few months' training he was given the command of ten depot units of supply, and promoted to Lieutenant. He left for Gallipoli in September and within a few days of his arrival he was struck down by a fragment of shell while walking with a brother officer, he died the following day without regaining consciousness.
Son of Thomas Herbert Edward and Ida Foord (nee Massey), married Q1 at Camberwell. Prior to the war, George was a solicitor and M.A. at Cambridge.
