George entered the war in France on 27th September 1915. He was serving with 76th Field Ambulance but was part of an away team attached to No 17 Casualty Clearing Station, when around 9.20pm on 17th August 1917 an enemy aeroplane dropped two bombs over the compound of that unit. One fell about 10 yards west of the walking wounded camp and the other about 5 yards north of the personnel encampment, resulting in 6 being killed and 13 wounded. George was one of the casualties. He was the son of Samuel and Harriett Perry of 174 Kensington, Hamilton, Ontario.
