George Prowse was born at Thorverton, Devon in 1882. A Blacksmith by trade he enlisted in the Devonshire Regiment in 1902 and embarked for France with the 1st Battalion on 20 September 1914. Whilst serving with ‘B’ Company at Hill 60 he received a gun shot wound to his arm and was admitted to No 14 Field Ambulance on 21 April 1915. For his services during the Great War he was both Mentioned in Despatches and awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre; given the close proximity to both these awards being gazetted it is likely that he was considered for a Military Medal. Discharged to Class ‘Z’ Reserve on 6 April 1919, he obtained employment as a Platelayer with the Taff Vale Railway Company, South Wales and died whilst still employed in the railway industry at Pontypridd on 21 June 1940, aged 56.
