WW2 Sniper Loses Final Battle

[IanS]

It is with great sadness that I report the loss of Geordie Davison, who died on Vancouver Island on the 10th January. Geordie was in his mid nineties and was probably the last surviving KOSB WW2 sniper. He served as a Corporal Sniper with my dad in the 4th Battalion, KOSB.

I used to meet Geordie during my trips to Canada, he was great company and fun to be around, especially when he rattled off his huge repertoire of jokes, usually after a few drinks.

Thanks to Geordie and others like him, who went to war and gave us the freedoms we so dearly love and respect.

Ian.
