Angie

Hi Brummijan
I have his war details died in france flanders 31.1.1914.
Thanks

Oh bother I had started to look at this record then thought the age was out so stopped

Age at enlistment: 18
Birth Parish: St Pauls
Birth County: Somerset
Document Year: 1908
Regimental Number: 8858
Regiment Name: Rifle Brigade
Number of images: 28

looking at walter's service record he enlistest in 1902
he had typhoid vaccinations in 1908 and appears he was stationed at
Chaubatia? India as far as I can tell

Births Dec 1884 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weston Walter Shardlow 7b 514

Either of these could be the Walter in 1911
