247532 Pte. Walter James Brassett British Army 23rd Battalion Middlesex Regiment (d.25th March 1918) Walter James Brassett came from Poplar, London. He was married to Sarah, nee Mcarthy. He was about 40 years old at the time of his death. His DOB was 7th March 1878
He had six children, Albert, Clara, Frederick, Nellie, Minnie and Violet.
He died on the 25th March 1918 fighting with 23rd Battalion The Middlesex Regiment.
My granny Sarah always thought he would come home and waited even into her 90's for his return.
I am his grandaughter Jayne Knight nee Brassett. I have just visited Arras where he is commemorated at the cemetery. But I would dearly like to know more about the circumstances of his death and where he would have been fighting on that day, which would have been during the German Spring Offensive.
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of him as they were lost in a bombing raid in London in the Second World war.
