Major Gordon Evans Gill, 65^th Field Company, Royal Engineers.  Invalided out and succumbed to influenza, March 1919, aged 28.

As was the case with Captain Austin above, Gordon’s father Reverend William Thomas Gill was a local Methodist minister.

Gordon fought at Gallipoli and in Palestine, and was mentioned (twice) in General Allenby’s dispatches for bravery. 

Shortly before his death he was honoured with the Freedom of the City of London (right).
