245892 Lt. Ernest Marson Gosse MC & Bar British Army 52 Company Army Service Corps from:London, Brighton My paternal grandfather, Ernest Marson Gosse, enlisted in London on 9th August 1914, aged 24. He chose to join the 'Mechanical Specials'of the Army Service Corps as Private MS/2315, 52 Company ASC (the Caterpillar section). He became a sergeant sometime in 1915 and was commissioned later that year as a Second Lieutenant. He appears to have spent most of his time from 16th June 1916 to December 1917 on attachment to the 90 Seige Gun Battery Royal Garrison Artillery. On returning from getting married on 8th January 1918, he returned to France on 14th January posted on attachment to 190 Siege Gun Battery Royal Garrison Artilery, he was also on attachment at some point to the 216 Siege Gun battery RGA. He was awarded an MC in February 2018, and a bar in September 1918. My grandfather died in the year of my birth in 1949. We, unfortunately, have scant records of his attachment to the Royal Garrison Artillery an would welcome any information or photos where we may be able to identify him. I'd be very happy to forward more information and photos to anyone who might be able to provide information.
