Pte. Walter Tudge

British Army Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment

from:22 James Street, Nuneaton

(d.23rd Aug 1918)

We know very little about Walter Tudge who was born in 1900 in Coalville, Leicestershire. His father was Willis Tudge who joined the Leicester Regiment in 1901 but transferred later in 1901 to the Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery and spent many years serving in India. He left the army in 1908 but was recalled to the Royal Artillery on 4th August 1914 and had his final discharge in 1920.

Walter appears to have joined the Army sometime in 1915, as the family have a shooting medal with his name on it, and is dated July 1915. He was killed on 23rd August 1918 and is buried in Daours Communal Cemetery Extension near Amiens.

I'm attempting to research the service story of Walter Tudge for one of his relatives. The family would appreciate any information about Walter especially details of his battalion and the battle when he was killed.
