Sword champion of the Griffin Inn


It's a fair bet that George White, landlord of the Griffin Inn at Dale, Pembrokeshire, never had trouble from drinkers - he'd been the British Army's champion swordsman ...

three years in a row. He also held two medals with a total of eight bars, but was only 42 when he died at the inn in 1915. For more about this seafront hostelry, scan the HistoryPoints QR codes by the entrance. Or click here
