More about George Stirling Bowman
George has no known grave but is remembered on the Vimy Memorial. He would appear to have lied about his age when he enlisted as his attestation papers have his date of birth recorded as 31/05/1880. George also listed his brother John Guthrie Bowman of 9 Elgin St, Fairmuir, Dundee as his next of kin and his sole beneficiary in his will. George was the brother of Cpl Alexander Bowman, 297542, 224th Battalion, Canadian Forestry Corps.
