Dvr. Robert Gordon
British Army A Battery, 225th Brigade Royal Field Artillery
from:Aberdeen
My Great Grandfather, Robert Gordon, survived the war, never speaking about it except once, when his tongue loosened after a few whiskies one New Year. He wept as he told my Granda (his son born in 1915) that he remembered lying asleep in the dark after a heavy battle on what he thought was a pillow but turned out to be the body of a soldier. He never mentioned the War but remained a taciturn and stern man the rest of his long life. He died in 1970 aged 85.
