KOPUSTER commenting to He tore them up:

There was Tomim from Russia a talmid of the RASHAB who was in Eretz Yisroel in the 1920s his name was Reb Mordchai Zev Hakohen Gutnik he was chosid ben chosid. Through the work of Reb Ezriel Zelig Slonim who was in London at the time the Rebbe RAYATZ got him the post of Rov in the Old Castle Street Shul in London also known as the Chabad Shul in London. Rabbi Gutnick was busy in Shmiras Shabbos and fundraising for the RAYATZ while he was a Rov he opened up a branch of the Shul in another part of London where Rabbi Gutnick used to go to them every fifth Shabbos.

He was niftar very young he is buried in London his matzevo is the only one in cemetery that has no English writing on it (a big chidush for those times). He left a wife with children. The Shul had decided (the work of the RAYATZ) that whoever maries his wife will become Rov of the Shul. Rav Abramson married her (the RAYATZ was shadchan) shortly before the war. In the war years the Shul was bombed in the blitz by the Germans and after the war the yidden were moving out of the area. Chaim Gutnick who was sent to Telz in Lithuania by his stepfather was a English citizens so when the Germans came to Lithuania, the English sent all their citizens to Australia so he brought over his stepfather and mother and brother to Australia that is the history of Gutnick in short.
