Captain Gerald Louis


I thought I'd better post a picture of Aunty Mary Jacobs  first husband who died in 1916 and is buried at Cabaret Rouge British Cemetery in Pas de Calais. Ive just found the letters that her mother and sister sent her when she was notified of the Burial Place . All His letters to Aunty Mary from the fron were given to the Imperial War Museum by Aunty Jean. 

In context ,Mary Collier was our Grandmothers Cousin , both called Mary Collier, though Aunty Mary was known as Molly .  Aunty Jean was the daughter of her second Marriage to Alex Jacobs. She (AJ)was Godmother to Imogen . Aunty Mary had twin boys by Gerald Louis but they both died with the first few weeks of birth.
