My wifes grandfather George Brown served in the Royal Horse Artillery and was a farm labourer prior to joining up
On leaving the RHA he became a publican in Bridgnorth before moving to the Bush hotel, Hadley Shropshire.
He and his wife Rose brought up seven children whilst at the Bush and Rose died in the Cottage hospital on the 29th March 1925.
I have lost track of George after his wife died and do not know when he left the Bush or whether he remarried or not. Hence I do not know when he died.
He was born on the 3rd September 1865 at Tiddiecross, Wrockwardine, Shropshire. His father John Brown was a farm labourer as was George.
I am posting a picture taken (I think) in Jamaica and George is in the centre of the threesome leaning out of the window with the moustache.
The Lance Corporal on the left is holding a pith helmet with the RHA badge attached.
Is it at all possible to find out any army details of George? I know this is a very long shot and any help would be greatly appreciated.
