OSNELL.—DALE.—On the 18th inst., at St. Peter's, Cranley-gardens, S.W., Ralph Percy Gosnell, son of Mr. C. P. Gosnell, of Eyford, Surbiton, to Sylvia, daughter of Mr. Hylton Dale

The death took place suddenly on Monday at the Battersea Fire Float Boat, where he was a sub-officer on A.R.P. service, of Capt. Ralph Percy Gosnell, aged 58.

Capt. Gosnell, who has lived at 48 Castelnan, Barnes, for the past 16 years, was at one time managing director of the old firm of Messrs. John Gosnell and Co., soap and perfume manufacturers at Southwark, prior to its being taken over by a French firm. For some years he was a Councillor on the Southwark Borough Council and his widow told a “W.L.O.” representative that her husband refused the mayoral office more than once.

The deceased's hobbies were chiefly rifle shooting and yachting, and he won. innumerable cups in both these sports. Whilst at Charterhouse School he won the Ashburton Cup for public school shooting, and only last year he gained a £5 prize at Bisley for his marksmanship.

Capt. Gosnell served throughout the war in France and Italy with the H.A.C., and was a young “58” and very active to the last. Having some expert knowledge of engineering he gave his services during the Great Strike as an engine driver at Waterloo.

Capt. Gosnell was quite fit when he left home on Monday. Whilst on duty at Battersea he said he felt queer and would return home. He went to his room to fetch his hat and coat and was later found dead on the floor.

The widow and family have received many letters from various Chambers of Commerce, and other public services in which he was an arduous and very capable authority and adviser. One letter received from Mr. D. T. Griffiths, Town Clerk of the Southwark Borough Council, paid glowing tribute to Capt. Gosnell's unfailing courtesy and kindness. He had always given his exceptional abilities and qualifications for public service, and was universally admired and respected as a fine type of English gentleman. He was also beloved by all with whom he came in contact, for his kindness and geniality regardless of rank or society.

His eldest son, aged 28, is a Lieut. on H.M.S. Glorious, at present on active service: his second is 27 and is shortly going to France as a 2nd Lieut. in the R.A.S.C. Another son, aged 18 is still at school.
