Further Information About BROMLEY George

George Bromley volunteered for the Worcester Territorials in September 1914 and served in the 1st/8th Battalion.  He went to the Western Front in March 1915 and in 1916 the Worcesters were deeply involved with fighting on the Somme.  In March 1917 they were among the troops forcing the Germans back to the Hindenburg Line.  After the remarkable storming of the ‘Mound’ at Templeux-le-Guerard early in April the Worcesters went on to attack Guillemont Farm, situated on a spur overlooking the Hindenburg Line.  A two company attack on the 24th April was undertaken but German resistance was fierce and no territory was gained.  Losses were heavy and included Private George Bromley who suffered from gun-shot wounds to both legs.  He died on the same day.
