8601 Lance-Corporal George Thomas Looker of the 1st Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment was killed in action on the 22nd September 1914. He was 23 years old and according to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission was the son of Albert and Lucy Looker of 41 Bostock Avenue, Abingdon, Berkshire.
George Looker's army number indicates that he must have joined the Royal Berkshire Regiment in late October or early November 1907 and he arrived in France on the 13th August 1914. He has no known grave and is one of nearly 4000 British soldiers commemorated on the La Ferte-sous-Jouarre memorial in France.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
