Esskay Posted 25 March , 2008 Share Posted 25 March , 2008 Peter - from a brief entry in "Fallen Officers" in The Times of 5th September 1916 it adds he was educated at Hymer's College, Hull and was a partner in Messrs Dumoulin and Gosschalk - Merchants and Importers, Hull. From what I can find with a quick google they were wool and hide merchants in Hull - and this was shown as his Dutch born father Edward's occupation in the 1891 census - (can't find them quickly in 1901) From that census his eldest brother was Maurice (14) - he may well have been the Maurice responsible for founding the law firm in Hull - Gosschalks - http://www.gosschalks.co.uk/history.asp Looks like at least 2 of his brothers also served Medal card of Gosschalk, Herman Joseph (12 in 1891) Corps Regiment No Rank East Yorkshire Regiment Major Territorial Force Reserve Major 4th East Yorkshire Regiment Major and Medal card of Gosschalk, Frederick (2 in 1891) Corps Regiment No Rank 4th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment Second Lieutenant 4th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment Second Lieutenant Cheers Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
