GEORGE UPSHALL WW!
« on: Wednesday 17 August 22 15:58 BST (UK) »
GEORGE UPSHALL died on 26 Sept 1915 after serving with the Border Regiment. Aged just 19, he was the son of Sidney Upshall of Kelleth, Tebay.

Does anyone out there know where George Upshall is buried?  Any information would be much appreciated.
