Does anyone have any information about Gordon McNeil Brooker born in 1886 in St John Barbados. He was a Sergeant in the Leinster Regiment and died in 1919. He was married to Alice Brennan in Birr, Offaly, Ireland in 1913. I would love to know who his parents were.

Well, his father looks like Benjamin Brooker.
