A 20-year-old clerk from Keighley is one of the thousands of British troops who died in the First World War who has no known resting place.

Private George Frederick Day was killed in action on the Western Front on October 9 1918, only a month before the Armistice finally ended the bloodshed.

He was born locally in 1898 and lived in Oak Street, Keighley, West Morton Bingley and Dalton Lane, Keighley.

His father was a baker and confectioner, and in civilian life private Day was a clerk for Keighley firm Messrs J Green and Sons.

He enlisted in the army in August 1916 and was posted to the Durham Light Infantry on October 27 1917.

Private Day was serving with this unit's 13th Battalion when he died, and was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

The November 2 1918 Keighley News featured a short article about his death.

He is commemorated on the Vis-en-Artois Memorial near Arras, France, and on the war memorial plaques in front of Morton Institute at East Morton.

He is also remembered on the Albert Street Baptist Church memorial, which is currently in storage at Keighley's Cliffe Castle Museum.

Private Day's younger brother, John Charles Graham Day, served with the army's Machine Gun Corps during the war. He survived the conflict.
