George Jones was born in 1881. Confirmed on roll for the Queen's South Africa and King's South Africa Medals, both have the note "Records trace 15/6/45". He transferred to the Royal Artillery in March 1904. His entry for the India General Service Medal states "Transferred to Home Establishment". Seeing some Great War service he was posted at Home with the 78th Battery. It is uncertain if Jones was entitled to any medals although a letter written by him to the War Office in 1920 requesting they be sent to him suggests he believed himself to be.
