George Abdul was born around 1923 or early 1924 in the Eastern district of London. No birth record was found, so based on his age being listed as 20 at the time of death in mid-1944, it is likely his birth fell on the latter half of 1923 or the first half of 1924. This could be due to factors such as being recorded wrong or his name being anglicised, or a possible foreign-born father?
