Chailey Parish Magazine notes in March 1915 that George Trigwell is serving his King and Country.  In October it reports, Trigwell, Pte G, RAMC, France but by February 1916 notes that he is serving with the Army Veterinary Corps in France.  This is updated the following month to note that he is serving in Salonica.

 

George Trigwell’s name appears for the last time in the parish magazine in March 1917 where he is noted simply as Trigwell, Pte G, AVC.  The National Archives notes his army number as SE/3722.

 

I have been unable to establish a Chailey connection for this man.  He is possibily the same George Trigwell who appears on the 1901 census as a 13 year old living in Lewes with his parents and nine brothers and sisters but further research is necessary to confirm this.
