Sergeant George "The Baron" Upfold
(1495465)
Rear Gunner
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
Son of Ernest Edward Upfold and Louisa Upfold of Greetland, Yorkshire
He was the son of Ernest and Louisa of 3 Shutts Lane, Greetland. Attended Lindwell Methodist Church Boys Brigade
He was an overlooker for Robinson and Barraclough, Greetland.
George was a member of Halifax Bohemians Concert Party and enlisted in March 1941.
In the photographs of George he certainly displays a presence that I think fits this theatrical background and his most glamorous title, "The Baron".
He is commemorated on the memorial board of the Old Boys 5th Halifax (Elland) Boys Brigade.
