    Robert Gunson Death Plaque WW1

    I have in my possesion the Death Plaque of Gunner Robert Roy Gunson Son of Robert and Mary Gunson of 71 Tithebarn Rd.
    Death Plaques were sent to the relatives of soldiers killed in the Great War.
    I have a brief biography for him from the book Southports Splendid Hearts. He had two brothers who also served and they were Harold Gunson and Arthur Gunson.
    I know this is a long shot but does anybody have any information on any relatives of Gunner Gunson, who maybe still alive.

    Haven't seen toffee man on here for a long time. Try sending him a private message (click on his user name and then to his profile). He should get an email advising him of your message. Good luck!
    Just be yourself, no one else is better qualified!!

    I'm asking if there is anyway of making contact with this person tried messaging but to no avail. I'm looking to sell this item but like the family to have first refusal obviously.
