Gnr. Walter Turpin 1/1st Lowland Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery (d.6th November 1918)

My great uncle, Walter Turpin was resting behind the lines with his unit in a partially destroyed farm house when a wall collapsed on him and he died of his injuries. How sad so near the end of the war and not due to enemy action
