Pte. Walter Charles Price
British Army 70th Brigade Royal Field Artillery
from:Llynygog, Montgomeryshire, Wales
My story is very bitty as my great uncle, Walter Price was never discussed when I was younger and in my mid teens I discovered his campaign and war medals in a drawer under a load of rubbish.
Along with the medals I discovered a photo of him before he went to the front line.
He came back from France in 1919 after being demobbed and spent the rest of his life in the mental health asylum in Talgarth, passing away in 1935 aged 39. My mother then handed what we had of him to my horrible Aunty and that was it. Both my mother and Aunty have passed on and I have no idea where the medals and photo are.
