A Private with the 8th Battalion, George died on 12th of October 1917 at the age of 35. It is difficult to say exactly where George was born as three different records state three different places. Also, when George enlisted in the Army he claimed to be 38 years and 7 months old, when in fact he was only 32.We do know that he was a son of James and Sarah Ann Spoore and that he was born around 1882. It is possible that he was born at Wednesfield, Staffordshire.  the100
