Soldier – Mellor, George – Royal Artillery (picture)

October 1942

South Yorkshire Times, October 10, 1942.

Mrs. Mellor, of 39, Church Road, Denaby Main. has handed us a photograph of her husband, Lance Bombardier George Mellor, of the R.A., who asks her to have it inserted in the “South Yorkshire Times” in which so many of our lads are interested because it keeps them in touch with home.

Mellor, prior to enlistment, had worked at Denaby and Cadeby Collieries and was well known in the village.

He has been in the Middle East for a considerable period. He went to France prior to the Dunkirk evacuation, and was later sent farther afield. His brother, Gunner Tom Mellor is also serving abroad.
