Abstract:George Parker was born into poverty in Brighton in 1898 and joined up to fight in the First World War at the age of just 15. He fought in the trenches in both Ypres and on the Somme and, although wounded, survived the horrors of the 'war to end all wars'. In 1969 George wrote this memoir which provides us with a first-hand account of life in Brighton before the First World War and, in particular, of life for a young soldier in the trenches.

Preview:I am trying to trace my great grandfather Thomas PARKER, who I believe lived in Shoreham between approx. 1850 and 1920. He is a mystery as he does not appear on any census for the years within this timeframe. I know that he had died by 1920 when his son Albert PARKER married. We also glean from Albert's marriage certificate that Thomas was a Lieutenant in the 20th Hussars. But there is no trace of him in Army records.
