Morpeth Herald 25/06/1915 carries a brief obituary:
Mrs Gibson, of Newgate Street, Morpeth, has received the following letter from Lt Gordon Jobling, informing her of the death of her husband, Private George Gibson, of the 7th NF. In the letter, which is dated June 16, Lt Jobling says: “It is my unhappy duty to write and inform you of the death of your husband while going up with the transport last night."
“He was wounded in the thigh by a shell, and as far as the doctors in a neighbouring dressing station could see was that he must have died from shock. His body was brought back again to our lines, and we have buried him in a quiet little field where the boys will see that his grave is properly decorated and attended to while we are here. His quiet and willing manner had made me, personally, very fond of him, and I deeply regret losing so good a soldier."
He is remembered at Morpeth on M17.29 and in Battalion History
