Pte. Walter Ainger Brooks
2nd Btn.
from:Burton-on-Trent
(d.31st July 1917)
I recently found out while tracing family relatives that my great uncle, Walter Brooks, was killed in WW1 at Ypres. I knew of him, but had no idea he had been killed in WW1. My mother, his niece, was born the same month he died. I have been on many battlefield tours in recent years and visited the Menin Gate at Ypres a couple of years ago and am sad that I didn't know then that my great uncle was killed at Ypres and is mentioned on Panel 9 and 11 at the Menin Gate Memorial.
