(d.28th Apr 1915)
Walter Hennah was my Great Uncle. He was born on 28th September 1889 in Tottenham, London. His parents were Albert and Sarah Hennah (nee Manning) of 14 Scales Road, Tottenham. Walter had three brothers and three sisters. In 1907 at the age of 18 he enlisted at Stratford and joined the Border Regiment.
The Border Regiment was stationed in Burma (now Myanmar) when war was declared and returned to England in 1915. In April of 1915 his Battalion was sent to Gallipoli. Sadly, Walter was killed in the first battle of Krithia on 28th April 1915. His name appears on the Helles Memorial as there is no known grave. Walter was much loved by his family.
