World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte Walter John Price
British Amry 5th Reserves Durham Light Infantry
from:Kidderminster, Wocestershire
Private Walter John Price of Kidderminster, Worcestershire attested to the Durham Light Infantry on the 11/12/1915 and was discharged on the 20/02/1919. Walter was born on the 13th of March 1888 to John Price and Caroline Griffin. He was the brother to two sisters and one brother. Much about his early years is relatively unknown out of the realm of official records. Walter, before he attested, married one Florence Coates also of his hometown. They had 4 children together in all. He worked as a Ball Furnace-man in Kidderminster up until he headed for D.L.I.
Walter was in many battalions during WW1 all within the D.L.I and for the most part of his service he was fighting at the Salonica Front in Greece. It was there he contracted Maleria and was eventually hospitalized for a long time before being discharged. Much of what is known of Walter due to events after WW1 is down to some relatives and official records. It is not clear when or where Walter died and many of his relatives and descendants do not have any pictures of him.
