Lance-Corpl G. T. ARMSTRONG, Sewstern.
“The death occurred in action, on September 14th, [1918] of Lance-Corpl. George Thomas Armstrong, at the age of 31 years. For many years employed as groom by Lord Dysart, he joined at the outbreak of the war, and returned to France as recently as September 6th, after being home on leave. He married little more than a year ago, and his wife lives at Nottingham. In a letter to her, the chaplain states that Lance-Corpl. Armstrong was killed whilst asleep, and suffered no pain. Major F. Carruthers, for whom deceased had acted as groom since last March, wrote that he was killed by a stray shell which fell in the stables at headquarters, death being instantaneous. The Major added that he was extraordinarily good looking in after his horses and saddlery. The parents of Lance-Corpl. Armstrong live at Sewstern. His brother was killed in May, 1917, having joined up in Australia at the outbreak of war; two brothers have been discharged, and two are still serving, making a total of six out of seven sons who have been in H.M. Forces.”
