I am researching the 155 boys of Gordons Boy...Paul,<br />I am researching the 155 boys of Gordons Boys Home who died in the Great War. Like all your followers your site has been a great help to me. My present problem is Charles Joseph Allen, 6011, KOSB whose Service History survived. Enlisted in March 1897 and was transfered to AR Sec A 8/9/04 and to AR Sec B in 1905. In 1911 he was a Farm Labourer and died serving with the 1/KOSB's in Galipolli with the number 8386. Any ideas?<br />DerekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944079581687608453.post-80091086016391414262013-04-17T19:15:25.816+01:002013-04-17T19:15:25.816+01:00Thank you once again for your help
