23730 L/Cpl Herbert Gostelow, 10th Bn. Somerset Light Infantry

23730 Lance-Corporal Herbert Gostelow of the 10th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry died on the 14th April 1916. He was 37 years old. Herbert was born in Odiham, Hampshire, and was living at Camberley, Surrey when he enlisted around late March or early April 1916. He enlisted at Blackwater, Surrey but must have died very shortly afterwards, presumably as a result of sickness or accident.

Herbert Gostelow is buried in Wareham Cemetery in Dorset. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission notes that he was the son of Joseph George and Maria Gostelow.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
