Pte. Walter Arthur Wright
British Army 23rd Inf. Labour Coy. Labour Corps
from:14 Mark Street, Manchester
(d.4th May 1918)
Walter Wright was my Grandfather. He joined as a private in March 1917. He would have been aged 39 at that time. He was sent to France and was present during the Battles of Arras, Vimy Ridge, Bullecourt and Ypres (III), and was gassed on the Somme. He was invalided to Scotland, but unfortunately died in May 1918 as a result of gas poisoning. This is all the information I have found. I have not been able to trace his service records.
