This photograph was from George Bannister and shows George's Great Uncle George Preece with his Unit 2nd Btn East Yorkshire Regiment. He joined up as a regular some time after 1933 and the photograph may have been taken in Palestine before the outbreak of WW2. He was killed on May 30th 1940 fighting the rear guard action for the retreat to Dunkerque somewhere along the Nieuwpoort Dunkerque canal. George has found his grave courtesy of the CWGC web site but is looking to find any mention of him on any memorial in the North East. The family lived in Wingate. George is shown on the left in the back row.
