Why did George Abbott enlist in 1915, and then desert? Why did he rejoin the army under another name, George T Connors, and desert again?
Rod Martin asks these questions and more in his new article "Private George Abbott - the man who wasn't there?"
When George Connors was released from a one month prison sentence in August 1916, the MPs picked him up as George Abbott and returned him to training.
Who was he really?
