Good night. Will" The card was addressed to his father (my grandfather), Mr.Wm.Gill, 3 Birlam Street Upper Brook St. C.on M. Manchester. He left the Curragh and sailed on the 16th August for for Le Havre whence he marched to Mons. He was killed at La Bassee on 20th October and has no known grave. He is commemorated at Le Touret.
