George was born in Kerrie Muir, Scotland on May 18, 1880 (as he stated on his attestation paper). He filed on a homestead at SW 9-79-6-W6, near Spirit River, in 1916 and enlisted in the Canadian Army only months later. On June 3, 1917 George was discharged – it had been discovered that he had lied about his age and was in fact 49 years old. George died in 1919.
