Pte. Arthur Walkey Barrow
British Army 7th Btn. London Regiment
from:27 Sansom Street, Camberwell
Arthur Walkey Barrow was my Grandfather who served with the 1st Battalion, West Kent Regiment. All The only information we have about him is one piece from the Surrey Recruitment Registers, Attestation date 10th October 1917. Aged 18 years 2 months standing 5 ft one & half inches tall. All we know is he was injured and captured by the Germans, sent to a Hospital ( Field ? ) patched up and spent the rest of the War as a POW (anecdotal from his wife ).
He passed away in 1974 while visiting his local tobacconist's shop.
We would like to know more, I cannot find any pictures, Medal card or "Burnt records " .
