As far as I know, George spent nearly four years training Australian Troops after he enlisted. Mollie writes: "George was based in London with the Civil Service Rifles. He had a girlfriend there. Although he served with a London regiment, he seems to have have a connection with Australians as a rifle instructor despite some kind of eyesight defect. George was killed in action very near the end of the war on the 9th August 1918. He has no known grave."
Below is a picture of George with his trainee Australians and below that two fellow officers from his regiment. He is by the right hand bottom corner of the banner below and in the picture below that, George is on the left of the other two sergeants.
