Pte. Walter Brady
British Army 1/4th Battalion, A Company East Yorkshire Regiment
from:2 Cheapside, Groves, Hull
(d.3rd May 1915)
News has been received by Mrs Brady, of 2 Cheapside Groves, Hull confirming the report that her son, Private Walter Brady, was killed in action near St, Julien on 3rd of May. The deceased, prior to enlistment. worked at Messrs. Sanderson's paint works, where he was highly respected. Captain Harold Jackson of A Company 4th East Yorks says, in a letter to Mr Brady, says He died like the gallant soldier he was . . . . We all sympathise with you deeply in your sad loss, and trust the fact that he died fighting hard for his country and for the protection of you all at home may mitigate your sorrow to some extent. If If we could only make the people, at home realise, the misery caused by the German invasion of this poor country, they would appreciate much more the sacrifice that men like your brother has made in order to beat the Germans here and keep them out of our land. Harold B. Jackson, Captain.
