Gatehouse, E. W.
Edward William Gatehouse, SS/103285, was a 1st class Stoker in the Royal Navy. His CWGC records state that he was on the H.M.S. "Blonde", but he served a further two months ashore ("Pembroke II") before he was invalided from the Navy because of tuberculosis.

After an illness lasting ten months, he died on 11th September 1916, aged 28, at his parents' home, and is buried at Charlton cemetery, Dover in the United Kingdom. The coastal railway line was inoperative, owing  to a landslip at the Warren and the storage of munitions in the Shakespeare tunnel, and so Edward's father was forced to row to Dover to fetch the coffin, and then return it with his son's body in the same way for burial.

He had joined the Navy ten years before, in July 1906, when he served aboard the "Acheron". He was clearly quite a character, as his records note an occasion when he refused duty in 1908, and also underwent the unfortunate experience of two short periods in the cells in 1909 and 1910. (more)

He was the son of Mr and Mrs C Gatehouse, of Shakespeare Colliery, Dover, and cousin to William, below. He was buried on 16th September, ZN 1, and is next to Percy Maxted, another WWI casualty.
