Walter Winchcombe was my great uncle and joined up on 1st September 1914 at Willesden in Middlesex. On the 9th of September he was posted to Colchester.
He left Southampton on 5 July 1915 for France. He was wounded - believed to be on the Somme - on 13th July 1916 and died the following day from his injuries. My grandfather, John received Walter's 1914/15 Star on 13 August 1920 and his Victory medal on 26 June 1921.
