Walter became frustrated at what seemed to him to be an inordinately long time on home duty while the rest of the BEF was already fighting in France. However, when he did eventually set foot on French soil his war turned out to be a very short one. His battalion disembarked on 13 September and the next week was spent getting to the Front, partly on the march and partly by train. Finally Walter saw action in the Battle of the Aisne, but on 25 September his life was taken when he was shot by a sniper. His Batman, a Pte Barnes, seeing that his officer had been hit, put his own life in danger trying to recover his body, but, alas, Walter had been mortally wounded. Pte Barnes was Mentioned in Despatches for his gallantry and receiv a silver plate from Walter's mother, as a thank you."]: www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/578826/HILL,%20WALTER...
