L/Sgt Leonard Charles Gatehouse
British Army 5th Btn Dorset Regiment
(d.30th July 1944)
Charlie Gatehouse as he was known to his family was my uncle, my mother's brother. He is buried in Bayeux War Cemetery. I am lucky enough to still have the last letter he wrote to his mother and the photograph of the wooden cross placed on his grave which was sent to her. I am just looking up the history of his short fighting career in Normandy.
