norwood Posted 2 May , 2015 Share Posted 2 May , 2015 I found a memorial card for Arthur Louis Gullick in a book I bought and was wondering if you had a pic of him ? The card says he "Fell in action in France, 3 oct 1915" I downloaded his medal card and have a little info , but a pic would be nice (i have searched google but with no luck) and any other info which might tell me more about this officer.

sotonmate Posted 2 May , 2015 Share Posted 2 May , 2015 Norwood Arthur's parental home was at Uplands,Pirbright,Surrey. You might find a pic in the local newspaper for the area. He was a Lieutenant (Territorial) in the East Kent Regiment,I haven't seen a Battalion on any of the usual databases as yet so can't suggest more details. There were no other KIAs from the Regiment on 3.10.1915. He is buried in Bois-Carre Military Cemetery, Haisnes. His service file is at Kew,here is the database reference,though the file is not digital as yet : http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1065528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
