Yes, it's Gerald & as a bonus I've found his brother John Walter. Next task to find maiden name of their mother I only know her as N.M. Trelawny. Their father was Conyers LancelotTrelawny. At least today I have achieved something with your help. Thanks Vesta

Hello - just starting here so apologies for reviving an old topic. I remember the Trelawny name in the 1950s in Bramshott (which is near to, and the parent parish of, Liphook). I have found the following relating to the Bramshott War Memorial:

TRELAWNY
 Gerald Conyers
 Sergeant (W.Op.) 911012 Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. Died 01/06/1941 Age 27. Son of Lt.-Col. L. C. Trelawny, M.C. and Mrs. N. M. Trelawny, of Sea View, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. Formerly served in the R.N. His brother John Walter also died on service. Buried in Cirencester Cemetery, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, Plot 10. C. of E. Row N. Grave 2.
 
and mentioned in a local paper:

TRELAWNY
 John Walter
 Captain 44994 1st Suffolk Regiment. Died 21 May 1940 Age 31. Son of Lt. Col. L.C. Trelawny M.C. and Mrs. N.M., Seaview Isle, Wight. Buried in PECQ Communal Cemetery, Pecq, Hainaut, Belgium, B4.
 
Hope this might still be of interest.

Thanks Dand C for replying.
 After a lot of research I found that this family was a name change to Trelawny 2 generations earlier.

Hello my name is Andy and i have been researching the names of all the men named on the Bramshott parish war memorial in St. Marys church Bramshott near Liphook. I came accross your onlibe chat with regards to G.C.Trelawny who I believe to be the son of L. C. and N.M.Trelawny who at some point lived in Liphook. My hope is that one day I could have this research published locally as a lasting memorial. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with any information on this family. I believe Gerald also had a brother who was killed with the Suffolk regiment during the withdrawl of the B.E.F. in 1940.
