Born in Muswellbrook, New South Wales, to parents Elizabeth Jane and Frederick George, he was working as a coach painter prior to enlisting, and embarked with the 2nd reinforcements to the 30th Battalion aboard HMAT Berrima on 17 December 1915. Later he served with both the 45th Battalion and the 13th Battalion, including as a trombonist with the 13th Battalion Band.
