George Albert Valentine
This story and photo is shared by the Trust courtesy of Mrs Esme Thomas, niece of George Valentine and Philip Hynard, Esme Thomas' son-in-law
Remembering Lance Sergeant George Albert Valentine (Service Number: 7896784). Esme was around four years old when George was killed so she has only vague memories about George. But she recently discovered a press cutting in the Buckinghamshire Advertiser about George as well as a photo of him.
George is buried at Hottot-Les-Bagues War Cemetery and is commemorated on the British Normandy Memorial (Column 105).
