Gnr. George Edward Gunn
British Army 21st Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Leith
(d.23rd July 1917)
My mother's father, George Gunn, was 38 when he was killed in action while serving in the 21st Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. He is buried in the Canada Farm Cemetery, but I have failed to discover the battle in which he died. My best guess is the Third Battle of Ypres, but I have no details.
I know little about my grandfather, other than he was a professional organist. As I child, I recall seeing a photograph of him in uniform and being shown his medals. I do not have these items nor know where they are.
I am planning to visit his grave on the centenary of his death, and hope that by then I will know more about how and where he died.
