online resource

posted on 2024-01-18, 16:32 authored by Lest We Forget Project Team

Walter was too ill to serve, so he joined the Special Constabulary in Reigate. He carried a Medical Board Stamped Exception form to stop people asking him why he hadn't joined up. Walter worked as a printer before the war. He was born in Reigate in 1886 and died in 1944.
