| Private George Andrew Sussum (VII. A. 8.) |
| G. A. Sussum, son of George
and Mary Anne Sussum, came from a Cambridge family, but was for over seventeen years assistant to Messrs. T. A. Brown & Sons, Costumiers, e.t.c., of High Street, Winchester. Although over age, he joined the army in April of 1916, and, having completed a course of training, went to France in January 1917. A few months later he was invalided home, but returned to the Front on 9th September. On 25th November 1917, the 2nd Battalion, The Hampshire Regiment, with whom he was serving, were in reserve at Marcoing on completion of operations near Masnieres, near Cambrai. The following is from The Hampshire Regimental Journal of January 1918: 'From information which has been communicated by an officer of the Battalion, it would appear that Pte. Sussum was moving up with a relief party when a shell fell near them, killing him outright and wounding others.' It goes on to say that by his employers '.his death is deeply regretted, no less than by his friends in the city.' and that '[h]is enthusiasm for sport was very keen, and he took an active part in the work of the Thursday Football League (of which he was Hon. Secretary).' Private Sussum was forty-two years of age |
