Spr. Charles Walter Lewis
British Army 5th Btn. B Coy South Wales Borderers
from:Stockport
(d.11th Apr 1918)
I was a teenager in 1956 and living in Wilmslow Cheshire when I bought the war medals and a framed picture of Charles Lewis from a local junk shop for 10 shillings. To me at the time it seemed very sad. Over the years I have compiled information on the life of Charles Lewis, who was killed in action in 1918 and I had intended to visit his grave. Sadly I found he has no known grave but one day I will visit the Tyne Cot Memorial.
