George was born 1890 in Basingstoke, Hampshire to Henry & Mary STONE. His connection to Newport is unclear at this time.

George was a regular soldier having previously served in Wynberg, Cape of Good Hope in 1911. George, aged 25, was listed as Missing Presumed Killed in Action on the 29th of June 1915. His body was never found or identified & so George is commemorated by the Commission on the Helles Memorial at Gallipoli in Turkey together with 20,962 of his First World War comrades.

George is also remembered on the County & Newport Borough War Memorials.
