anne pedley Posted 30 November , 2006 Share Posted 30 November , 2006 Could members of the Forum help me with any information about: Lieutenant Kenneth Gordon Fleetwood PINHEY of 83 Brigade RFA Killed at Zillebeke Lake 2nd August 1917. I am particulary interested in a photograph of him or any other information. His father was the son of Lt. Col. Sir Alexander Pinhey of the Indian Army and his mother was Lady Violet Pinhey who resided in London and Brighton. He was, I believe, related in some way to General Gordon of Khartoum. Any information about him or his family, past or present, would be appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
