Biography
George Charles Grey (2 December 1918 – 30 July 1944) was Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) for the Berwick-upon-Tweed constituency in England from August 1941 until his death in action in July 1944.
Between his election and his death, he was the youngest member of the House of Commons, having been elected at the age of 22 years 259 days.
A captain in the 4th Battalion Grenadier Guards, Grey was killed at Le Repas in Normandy, France, on the first day of Operation Bluecoat. He was buried on the battlefield by his men, on the site of which his family later erected a memorial. The site is now recognised as a war grave, designated the Livry Isolated Grave.
William Beveridge retained Berwick for the Liberals in the subsequent by-election.
