Capt. Walter Raynes Gamble MM, MC.
British Army 9th Btn Yorkshire Regiment
from:Kings Lynn
(d.12th Jun 1917)
Walter Gamble was commissioned from ranks following award of Military Medal. He was part of BEF from 1914 and won his Military Cross at Contalmaison. He was shot by a Sniper near Caterpillar crater and Hill 60. I visited my Great Great Uncle this year where he is buried at Lijssentoek and tracked down a number of letters at the Imperial War Museum donated by another branch of the family to whom I am very grateful.
