Here's another Amble 7th Battalion fatality for that 'baptism of fire' period in late April 1915.


Private George William Geggie, aged 23 (killed 26th April 1915)

Son of George and Joanna Geggie, of the Blue Bell Hotel, Amble, Morpeth, Northumberland. No known grave. One of the "known unto god" graves, or still in a field somewhere, or worse, body disintegrated by shellfire and the general churn of the front line.





George William is a 12 19 year old coal miner on the 1911 census. George senior innkeeper of the Blue Bell.
