Chaplain 4th Class George Hedley Wolfendale
Serving with the RCAMC was Corporal George Hedley Wolfendale, a priest of the Church of England who had enlisted at the outbreak of war. At the time of the bombing of All Saints Church in Merstham, England and the resulting injuries to the vicar, he took over and saw that life and worship of the church continued. He would never forget the parishioners of South Merstham, and how his engineering connections enabled him to realise the dream of giving them a new church.
