(d.24th March 1918)
Gunner Wilson Ostle was my maternal grandmother's cousin. One of 4 brothers. He joined up at Whitehaven, Cumberland in 1915.
He was wounded in 1917 with a gunshot wound to a forearm. He firstly was admitted to Fort Pitt Military Hospital in Chatham then transferred to a military hospital in Westcliff-on-Sea, Southend. After a complete recovery he spent July 1917 on leave back in Cumberland.
He was wounded in France in March 1918 during the German big push and evacuated to No 53 Casualty Clearing Station where he died of his wounds.
He is buried in The British New Cemetery at Roye, France. God bless, RIP
