My Great-Uncle George Venables went to war when he was only 17 however he was killed during the war in Belgium and I was wondering if anyone knew of him or had heard stories about him or maybe even friends with him because we would like to know a bit of history about him because as I have pointed out he went to war at 17 as a soldier that never should have been but he felt he needed to do his duty for our country and our future. If anyone knows anything then please do send me a message as we would love to hear something about him we know where he is buried as he was fighting over there. He is buried 30 miles south of Valencis in France please do make contact. Adam Richardson
