We have most of George's life mapped out, including where he lived up to the mid 1930s. His service record does not survive.

One story he insisted on was that he went to Australia, didn't like it, and returned. Most of his tales have a hint of truth in them, but we cannot substantiate this. As his eldest daughter was born March qtr 1913, we assume that it must have happened before this, if it happened at all, as the girls never added to the story - as they must have done if it had affected them.
