Hi Maureen I am just in the throws of collating all the info on George from the fantastic Badsey website!! I will take this info along with me to the Museum! Yes you are correct that it is now the Mercians which is a result of the disbandment of the Prince of Wales Division ( to my disgust) I served with the Staffordshire Regiment also POW division! I aim to ensure that the photo along with his story takes a place of prominence within their displays! However if I felt that it was going to be tucked away out of sight and mind then the photo will stay in the MASON family and passed down through history! I having served 12 years also as a infantry soldier feel that George would agree my course of action! Once again a very big thank you to all of you who have spent endless hours uncovering the past of Badsey/Wickhamford! I don't think there is a local historical/ factual website to match it!! Kind regards PM
