Pte. Harry "Ginger" Gibson
British Army 4th Battalion Sherwood Foresters
from:Mansfield
Harry Gibson was my Great Grandfather. My father, who is 90 years old this year (2018), met him. I believe he was also known as Ginger due to him having a ginger coloured moustache but dark hair.
I have a small medal he was given as a result of running in the Flanders Cross Country Race. It is dated 1917. He wasn't killed during the war and returned home having been discharged on 22nd of March 1918 as unfit to serve. He was 33 years old when discharged. I have a copy of his discharge papers.
