Sgt. Walter Thomas Willis MM, CdeG.
British Army 2nd Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Tottenham
My grandfather Walter Willis was in the 2nd Battalion, Highland Light Infantry and became a Sergeant Signaller.
He was awarded the MM and the Belgian Croix De Guere for bravery under fire. He was also mentioned twice in despatches.
No one new about this until he died aged 83 when the medals and paperwork were found.
