11/651, Lance Corporal, 11th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment
Born in 1891 and according to the 1901 census Carey was born in Roxby.
Carey enlisted in Hull in September 1914, serving with the 11th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment. He is listed on Winterton 1914-15 roll of honour. On 23 December 1915 he entered Egypt and remained there until 29 February 1916, where his service record shows that Carey left Port Said and disembarked in Marseille, France on 7 March 1916.
On 27 August 1916 at the Divisional School of Instruction, Carey was very seriously wounded by shrapnel in the head, left arm and abdomen and died shortly after admission to hospital. It was caused by the premature burst of a No.3 Hales Rifle Grenade, possibly due to a faulty detonator. A report showed that Carey was not to blame in any way.
Son of George Green, of 24, Earlsgate, Winterton, Lincolnshire, and the late Sarah Green. He was posthumously awarded the British and Victory Medals as well as the 1915 Star.
