Sgt Peter Gaskin

British Army Northumberland Fusiliers

from:137 Francis Street, Dublin, Ireland

(d.17 Sep 1918)

Peter married Alice Murray 10th April 1910 and had a son 5 months later. Marriage cert shows his profession as Porter. He signed up for the Army in Dublin. Medal Index Card shows a Qualifying Date of 2/11/14 initially with Northumberland Fusiliers, then MGC. His daughter was born 13/3/1916, suggesting that Peter returned home in mid 1915. She married first in 1936. Father's profession is shown on the marriage certificate as Cabinet Maker. Possibly a tongue in cheek reference to the fact that he was 6 feet under?
