233417 Pte. Gerald Arthur George Treharne British Army 1st Btn. Northamptonshire Regiment from:Newnham Way, Kenton (d.20th Jan 1945) My uncle Gerald Treharne died of wounds in Burma on 20th January, 1945 which was 36 days after his 20th birthday. I was told by my mother that he was a fun loving man but also a very considerate man. I was able to obtain his service records and it would seem that he decided to go AWOL on 14th December 1944 (the day before his 20th birthday) for several days and was subsequently charged for this misdemeanour by docking his pay. I do wonder where he could have gone AWOL in the jungle of Burma but that is something I will never find out!
