L/Cpl. Walter Linfield
British Army 8th Battalion Rifle Brigade
from:Horsham, West Sussex
(d.15th Sep 1916)
I found a WW1 death plaque for Walter Linfield among my late father's possessions and traced him to having died during the Battle of Flers Courcelette on 15th of September 1916 aged just 24. I think that this battle was the first in which tanks were used during the war, but without great success. He is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial.
