If you search for Stanley in the London Gazette you will be able to chart his progress from Captain to Major to Lt.-Col. and even acting Colonel for a while (try searching for the exact phrase S D Gardner). His gallantry awards are there too (search for his full name to find these).

Thanks Olliecat, but I already have this death cert. It says 'Old Age Pensioner, formerly an actor, and was registered by A. Gardner, widow of deceased, 164 Ebury Street, Westminster.'
I don't think this can be him as he was at different times described as Surveyor, Estate Agent, and Captain in the London Defence Regiment (Volunteers). However I see there was a marriage in Wandsworth in the last quater of 1919 of an Edward Thomas Gardner to an Alice Shorter. I am looking to see if I can find anything about her.

I now have the marriage cert of Edward Thomas Gardner - Wandsworth Register Office 24/12/1919: -
Edward Thomas Gardner, 71, Widower of Independent Means, 164 Ebury Street, Westminster; father Edward Gardner decd also of Independent Means.
Alice Shorter, 45, Spinster, 9 Sabine Road, Battersea; father George Thomas Shorter decd, Page in Royal Household.
The witnesses were W T and L Walter.
So the death cert is his, but how did widow suppose him to be a retired actor? Maybe a mis-transcription in the Probate Office?

Regarding: Lt Col Stanley Douglas Gardner
*************
I am looking for any descendants of Lt. Col. Stanley Douglas Gardner, MC, born 1880 in London and died of wounds in 1918 in France.
I have an artifact from World War I of great personal significance to him which I would like to turn over to his family if any can be found.
He had a very illustrious career with the Canadian forces in the War which is well documented online.
