Rfm. Walter Barton
British Army 12th Battalion Rifle Brigade
from:81, Ashmill Street, St. Lisson Grove, Marylebone, London
(d.27th Sep 1915)
My great uncle, Walter Barton, is buried in Merville, located about 15 kilometers from Bethune, Northern France. It was a billeting and hospital center from 1915 to 1918. All the British soldiers buried there were those who died in hospitals. There are over 1000 graves of British casualties in the CWGC cemetery at Merville Communal Cemetery. Unfortunately I do not know where he was injured and when exactly it happened.
