L/Cpl. Gilbert Forsyth

British Army 153 Brigade Royal Field Artillery

from:Kingston on Thames

My Great uncle Gilbert Forsyth, volunteered in Kingston on Thames in May 1915. I have trawled the Bgde war diary copies at Woolwich and it reveals there was a number of personnel swaps between brigades so I can't be certain that he remained with the 153rd. If he did he was in Ploegsteert from 1/11/1917. I know he suffered at least one gas attack and whilst he was not invalided out he died in the 1950's aged only 56 from indirect result. I am hoping to find out more about his personal experiences and movements
