Biography
Walter appears on the School War Memorial, confirming that he attended the school.
Walter was born in 1889 and was the son of William Edward and Emma (née Jarvis, born Pirton). He would have been twenty-five at the outbreak of war. In all it would appear that four brothers served and three survived - refer to Archibald Tarrier for more family details.
Les Blackburn kindly provides the following information; Len's wife's grandmother was Emily Carter (née Baines), and her sister was Walter's wife. They were both Pirton girls. After they were married Walter and Emily lived in Westmill, Hitchin.
