Guest Posted 8 April , 2022 Share Posted 8 April , 2022 Mates, Well done TE 888, always love to fill the holes. Just for interest there maybe some thing I wrote on the Breaker around thirty years ago for my Regt magzine still on the net I think called "the Breaker undone", mainly about the Bushvelt Carb and the Pietersberg LH This was done before all the details came out in later years, but still holds true S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augmauns Posted 21 May , 2022 Share Posted 21 May , 2022 Frev, 5469 George William Walton was born in Tideswell Derbyshire & emigrated to Australia after the 1901 Census. Enlisted Nov 1915 & posted to 56 Battalion. Wounded in left thigh May 1917 & hospitalised in England. He married Caroline Blanch Iredale in Weymouth in late 1917, perhaps she was a nurse or a local lass. He was discharged in the UK and joined the Munitions Workers. He settled in Great Hucklow Derbyshire. He died in 1920 and is recorded on the Memorial in Tideswell. I'm not sure how his 1917 thigh wound resulted in his later death. (As an aside, I'm from Oz but currently reside in Tideswell.) Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As she wasn't in any of my databases, I went looking to see if I could find out whether she was in England on war service. Turns out the place of birth was incorrect! She was actually born in England. Anyway, I've added them to the Marr O/S DB (thank you), and I'd built a file on them, so have attached it to Reg's profile on the Discovering Anzacs website - a link here if you're interested: https://discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/person/243662 Cheers, Frev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some of our Aussie men married French ladies - so far I only have 41 listed, but I've no doubt there are many more to find. Thank you for two new additions to the DB, (ie.
