1601 Trooper George Neville Forde Hawkes of Royal Horse Guards (The Blues), was killed in action on the 19th November 1914. Judging by his army number, George probably joined The Blues in January or February 1914, and he was on French soil by 15th August that year. He is buried in Sanctuary Wood cemetery, five miles east of Ypres town centre.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
