George Gordon Beynon was born at Plymouth, Devon, on 12 March 1884, and enlisted into the Royal Marines at Plymouth on 27 November 1915. He was based at the Recruit Depot at Deal for the duration of the war and so earned the British War Medal only.

He transferred to the Chatham Division on 15 February 1947, with new official number CH. 24907, and received his Second Award Clasp on 11 July 1949. Sold with record of service and other research.
