Greetings from Canada!

It has recently come to my attention that Frederick Baron (who would have been my great-uncle) was killed during the Great War. I have learned a little bit about him but wondered if you may be able to provide a little more information. I am aware that he was buried in what is now Israel.

Coincidentally, my grandfather, Fred Gibson, also served in the War but survived despite the fact that he was gassed and, following the war, had to move to Canada to avoid the damp English climate.
