Gordon Raymond PATER

Grave I.K.1.

Son of J. Raymond Pater and Belinda Rosalie Pater, of "Toolanji", Eildon Rd, Kensington, Transvaal. Native of Melbourne, Australia. Educated at  Jepps High School, Johannesburg (Source : C.W.G.C.).

Killed in action on the 12th October 1916.

On the 12th October 1916, the 2nd and 4th S.A.I. attacked Snag and Tail Trenches. The assault died away because of machine guns nests, placed well back in prepared positions, which caught the attacking waves at long range.
