Disney Forbes Gordon died at his home in Old Rayne, Aberdeenshire on 5 January 1921, the son of Alexander and Helen Gordon. He was 24 years old. Cause of death: Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Silver War Badge Record identifies him as Gunner 103918, discharged on 7 February 1919 due to sickness. His Pension Card shows his discharge was due to Tuberculosis due to his war service.

His case has gone forward to CWGC on 29 April.

Aberdeenshire Council have carried out a search for his burial record without success. The records for Old Rayne only go back to 1924. I suspect Gnr Gordon is buried there but there is no record of a headstone for any og=f the Gordons.
