George Humphreys (listed as Humphries on the medal roll) was born in Audley, Kent, and attested for the Hampshire Regiment on 28 February 1890 a musician by trade. He served with the 2nd Battalion in South Africa during the Boer War, and is shown on a subsidiary medal roll as also being entitled to the Transvaal and South Africa 1902 clasps, being listed as ‘Deceased’. He died in a railway accident near Barberton, South Africa, on 30 March 1902.
