213063 L/Cpl. Gilbert Forsyth 153 Brigade Royal Field Artillery My Great uncle Gilbert Forsyth, volunteered in Kingston on Thames in May 1915. I have trawled the Bgde war diary copies at Woolwich and it reveals there was a number of personnel swaps between brigades so I can't be certain that he remained with the 153rd. If he did he was in Ploegsteert from 1/11/1917. I know he suffered at least one gas attack and whilst he was not invalided out he died in the 1950's aged only 56 from indirect result.
I am hoping to find out more about his personal experiences and movements

205923 A/Bdr. Robert Bennett-Pitts MM. D Bty. 153rd Bde. Royal Field Artillery (d.25th Sep 1918) Robert Bennett-Pitts was my Great Uncle, he was born on 27th February (I was born on 27th February) and died on 25th September (my sister was born on 25th September. My dad was named after Robert, but he didn't know this until a few years ago. I never knew Robert and no-one ever talked about him. I have been in touch with a wonderful man called Pierre who has kindly sent me a photo of Robert's grave in Belgium. It made me cry when I received it. I feel so proud of the Great Uncle (and all others) who gave up their lives for us all
RIP to my very brave Great Uncle and all who lost their lives in any war xx
