1232 Private George Alfred Moreton of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment lost his life on this day, 95 years ago. He was killed in action on the 7th November 1914. His medal index card - held in the name of George A Morton - notes that he arrived overseas on 4th October 1914, and his army number indicates that he joined the Royal Warwickshire Regiment around September 1908.
