George served as a First Lieutenant & Co-Pilot on B-17G #42-38059, 418th Bomber Squadron, 100th Bomber Group, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
He resided at 93 Van Bergh Avenue, Rochester, Monroe County, New York prior to the war.
George was "Killed In Action" when his B-17 was attacked by German Fighters who knocked out the #3 engine and they crashed at Addrupp, near Quackenbruck, Germany during the war.
He was awarded the Air Medal and the Purple Heart.
He was originally interred in Belgium and was later repatriated here on April 18, 1950.
Service # O-683719
The reason he is named on a group headstone is because when soldier's were killed in close proximity to each other they were unable, at that time, to identify them separately and interred their remains together in one grave.
