Pte. Walter Aukland
British Army 1st/4th btn Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Grantham
(d.17th Sep 1915)
Today is a memorable day, because I have been able to confirm the whereabouts of my uncle's war grave. My father and cousin visited a war grave in Ypres some years ago believing it to be that of my uncle, however I have since inherited all the details they had pulled together and there were discrepancies.
'My Walter', as I now call him, is buried at Longuenesse cemetery in France. Can you believe there were 2 Walter Auklands who joined the Lincolnshire Regiment at almost the same time, both died in 1915. My Walter died of wounds whilst being transported back home, so he never made it back to his family. He has remained 'undiscovered' until today. I can now make plans to visit his grave and pay my respects.
My father died 7 years ago, believing he had visited his brother's grave. However, he has visited someone's son and they will be indebted to him for that. So, My Walter, I am on my way .
