Signalman. Walter Keeling
British Army Royal Corps of Signals
from:Alton, Staffordshire
(d.Between 24th April & 2nd June 1940)
Walter Keeling was my husband's uncle. He died in France between 24-5-1940 and 2-6-1940 and is buried at Souvenir Cemetery, Longuenesse, St Omer.
He was just 21 years old and had only been married for one week before being killed on returning to his regiment.
We do not know if he died on the battlefield or in hospital? If anyone has any information regarding Walter Keeling, formerly from the village of Alton in Staffordshire we would like to hear from you.
His wife was called Zilla and we have no knowledge of her whereabouts following Walter's death.
We intend to visit his grave, has anyone visited Souvenir Cemetery, Longuenesse, St Omer France?
