George Gordon Everett

One of six siblings (three brothers and three sisters) who served in WW1.

George was the eldest, and distinguished himself at Nelson College, which he attended 1900-1904, being captain of the 1st XV and Head Boy in his final year. A career soldier, he went to England after leaving school, gaining a commission with the British Imperial Army from the Nelson College Cadets. He was later transferred to India where he served for 12 years as a Captain with the 67th Punjabis. He had just returned to Baluchistan after a three-year tour of duty with the Military Police in Northern Burma when he was killed on 1 May, 1917, near Fort Nili Kach on the Northwest Frontier, during an attack on a British convoy by Mahsud tribesmen.
