L/Sgt. Walter Richard Wright
British Army 2nd Battalion King's Royal Rifles Corps
from:Dagenham
(d.14th Apr 1945)
Walter Wright was my uncle, my Father's older brother, he was in Kings Royal Rifle Corp and from February 1943 to 1945 was part of the 4th Armoured Brigade then under the command of Bridadier R M P Carver.
Carver and others in his position kept a diary that was published and is available as a book
I do not know his date of birth although probably about 1921 and have no photograph of him as I know of none in existence and all his siblings are no longer living. If anyone has a photo they think may include him I'd love to hear from you.
