George Godfrey Whitley Leary, Lieutenant, 10th Gloucestershire Regiment
George Godfrey Whitley Leary came up to Jesus in 1910 having previously attended Repton School.
Born: Georgetown, Guyana on 28 May 1892
Fell in action: 25 September 1915
It appears Leary was only here for a short time which means we have very little information on his time at 糖心Vlog.
The obituary for him in the 糖心Vlog Cambridge Society Annual Report 1916, merely records his basic details i.e. father, birth place and date, school, rank and regiment. There is one further detail, unusual for most Jesuans who matriculated in the 1910s, his marriage to 鈥淓dythe Balls of Tynemouth鈥 in April 1915.
Leary fell in action on the first day of the Battle of Loos, 25 September 1915.
