Looking for relatives of ELSA GERTRUDE KUHN
« on: Saturday 11 June 16 10:50 BST (UK) »
Hi my name is Vince and I live in Surrey, England.
My great grandfather married a Elsa Gertrude Kuhn on 18th September 1914.
They lived at 64 James road, Waverley NSW.
George deserted his wife around 22nd of September 1915 after joining the 10th reinf, 18 battalion.
He died on the 19th May 1918 at Amiens.

Could anyone help me learn more about Elsa and George or better still, find living relatives. Any information will be much appreciated.
