Guest KevinEndon Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Private 200960 George Bell 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers Died on Thursday 27th September 1917 Age 25 Died of wounds 27th September 1917. Buried in the Brandhoek New Military Cemetery, Belgium. Taken from the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald dated 19th October 1917. Mr and Mrs David Bell, Big Land, Longbars, Glengarnock have received official intimation that their son, Pte. George Bell, has died of wounds received in action. It is two years and eight months since he enlisted, and he has been engaged as a drummer in the band, having only gone out to the front less than 3 months ago. He was 25 years of age, and was employed at Glengarnock Steelwork before enlisting. He was a fine young man, quiet and unassuming, not over-strong, but anxious to do his bit. The Chaplain in his letter to the parents conveys the deep sympathy of his comrades. I have a photo of his name on Kilbirnies war memorial and the steelworkers memorial and his grave if you are intrested Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
