Pte. Albert Gordon
British Army 1/4th Btn. Gordon Highlanders

(d.10th Aug 1915)
Albert Gordon was in 1/4th Battalion Gordon Highlanders and was sent to Bedford to train in Aug 1914. In Dec 1914 he married his girlfriend by proxy as she discovered herself to be pregnant! In Feb 1915 he was sent to France & Flanders and in April 1915 his baby daughter was born. Sadly on the 10th of August 1915 Albert Gordon was killed aged 18yrs old having never seen his baby.
Albert Gordon was my great grandfather and I couldn't be prouder or feel more emotion for a family member I've never met than I do for him. He truly is a hero in my eyes.
