254332 Pte. Jack Harold Walters British Army 2nd Battalion Suffolk Regiment from:Brierley Hill, Staffs (d.8th October 1918) My Great Uncle Harry Walters was a glass designer. I think he was a pacifist. He was sent white feathers and joined up later on in the war. I know Harry was an exceptionally brave man in civilian life as he dived into the River Severn to rescue a little girl. Her parents gave him a gold signet ring with an expression of eternal thanks for saving their daughter. I have that ring now. I am the only one left in the family. My ambition is to visit Forenville Military Cemetery where he has been buried. He was buried at La Targette British Cemetery first but was then exhumed and reburied. I do not know how or why he died. However, I think he may have been involved in the Second Battle of Cambrai since the cemetery is so near there.
