Pte. Walter Henry Platt
British Army 2nd Btn. Wiltshire Regiment
from:Portsmouth
(d.14th April 1917)
My grandfather, Walter Platt, died at the Battle of Arras on 14th April 1917. He left behind a wife and five children - four girls and the eldest a boy who was my father. He was taken to a field hospital but died of wounds. I am going to visit the Warlincourt Halte Cemetery in March of this year, 100 years almost from the date of his death to stand by his grave. The grandfather I never knew.
