GOD HAVE YOU IN HIS KEEPING TILL WE MEET AGAIN.

Before the war, William worked as a wheelwright. He married Rosa Jane Plumbridge in the summer of 1901 at Kingston, Surrey. Obituary, Primitive Methodist Magazine 1917: William G Gosford was reared in a Christian home, his parents being workers in our church at Norbiton. He early gave himself heartily to Christ, and became a worker, along with all the members of his family. He used his excellent voice in the choir, became a Sunday school teacher, and was deeply interested in the C.E. he married Miss Plumridge, a fellow-worker. The War brought a call, and he enlisted in the Mechanical Transport Army Service. He was eventually sent to Salonica. He fell victim to dysentery, and died on September 3rd in his thirty-ninth year. Doctor, chaplain, and captain all felt constrained to write telling of his peaceful end. G. Trusler
