George Sheard, 1/7th Sherwood Foresters, killed in action December 7th, 1917. We think we see his smiling face, as he bade his last good-bye, and left his home in silence, and his name we often call, but there's nothing left to answer but his photo on the wall. – From his ever-loving mother, father (in France), and brothers and sisters.” Above in memoriam is courtesy of Jim Grundy and his facebook pages Small Town Great War Hucknall 1914-1918
