Dvr. Gordon Lonsdale
British Army 233rd Ripton Field Company Royal Engineers
from:Gantshill, London
Gordon Lonsdale is my grandfather who I never met as he died as a result of being gassed in WW1. My grandmother, who I knew, woke up to a dead body beside her in bed. My father was 5 years old. He was in the 233rd(Ripon) Field Company, Royal Engineers and was in action in 1916. I have his medals from the War.
Before and after the war he was a heir hunter. I have one picture of him which sits on a wall at my parent's home. I am looking for more information about his service in time for my father's 90 birthday.
