Private George Golden. 16222. 6th Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment. Died Q4 1918. Aged 36. George Golden is not listed in either the CWGC register or SDGW. From his pension record, however, it can be seen that he was discharged as unfit for service on 5 February 1918, with his illness (acute nephritis) being "attributable to service during the present war." |
