FOSTER George Major Solloway

Appears in the Worcester/Worcestershire Roll of Honour Book for army casualties located in Worcester Cathedral under Wribbenhall casualties with the information: 2nd Lieut. The Royal Warwickshire Regiment.

The following report appears in the Kidderminster Times, 29th July 1916:
Another Bewdley officer has made the supreme sacrifice for King and country.  A very large circle of friends will be deeply grieved at the death of Second Lieutenant G.M.S. Foster, the eldest son of Mr G. Foster, of Wassell Wood, near Bewdley, and principal of the firm of Goodwin, Foster, Brown, Ltd., Dudley, with whom and Mrs Foster and the family the greatest sympathy is felt.

Lieutenant Foster, who was 28 years of age, joined the 3rd Birmingham City Battalion soon after the outbreak of war.  He joined as a private, and after he had been in training some time, was granted a commission in the Worcestershire Regiment, to which he was attached when he was killed.  Lieutenant Foster was educated at Dudley Grammar School and afterwards articled in Birmingham to a firm of accountants.  He was following his profession as a chartered accountant when war broke out.

Mr Foster has another son in the Army, namely, Second Lieutenant Malcolm Foster, who is at present at Salonika.
