14917 Private George Isaacs of the 7th Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers died - probably as a result of illness - on the 23rd February 1915.
George Isaacs was born in Hackney and living in Hoxton when he enlisted at (according to Soldiers Died in The Great War) Hackney Barracks. Before joining the RDF he served with the Wiltshire Regiment, his number - 13050 - indicating that he joined that regiment in September 1914. His RDF number dates to around the same time and it seems likely that he transferred almost immediately.
George died before he had a chance to travel overseas. He is buried in Grangegorman Military Cemetery in Dublin, one of 613 burials from WW1.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
