The Tennants' Of Pemberton, George Berry

[Gingerfreak]

I posted a similar thread in the introductions section.
This is the fourth thread on the family, Tennent, of Pemberton, Lancashire

This is regarding George Berry who had married Ethel Tennent.

George Berry married  Alexander's daughter and George and Harold's sister, Ethal. George may have originally come from Scotland. He served with the greatest corps in the world, the Royal Engineers (My corps).He survived the war and in 1920 enlisted in the 5th Battalion.  I presume it's the Regular Battalion and not a TA unit as it hasn't got the 1/5, 2/5 etc in front of it.

As with the other's if anyone knows anything please feel free to contact me.

Cheers
Ginge

a little information though, the 5th battalion was a territorial battalion based in Wigan. After war was declared the men who agreed to serve overseas formed the 1/5th ( egypt and gallipoli, later france) those that stayed behind formed the 2/5th. The 2/5th sent reinforcements to the 1/5th. Later in 1917 the 2/5th went abroad, the men they left behind formed the 3/5th
