Hi , and thanks for this and yes everyone was most helpful so that we can confirm once and for all that Cyril Walker was indeed the son of Arthur and Emma and born 1895 and KIA in Oct 1915 . He was as Nivard has said, 7th Bttn Norfolk Regt and I am now moving forward toward the end of the back story of each of these men, and will then find their dates of enlistment if poss, and their place of death more specific than France and Flanders. I`ll try to find the war diaries to see where the 7th Bttn were in Oct 1915.......it will give us a clearer idea of their lives.... I have now sorted Percy Eagle as being the son of Arthur and Martha originally of Massingham, but later when Percy joined of the Swan Hotel Downham and his younger brother Albert George who served but survived took the Rose and Crown in 1918 at Hilgay which is where the letter from Mrs Eagle ,enquiring after Percy`s death came from . I think that anchors Percy . Now to unravel the lives of Lot Fincham`s family ........ life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "M Cook" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 2:18 PM Subject: [NFK] CYRIL WALKER > Hi Elizabeth, > > I've now received the relevant certificates and can confirm the following: > > Pte Cyril Walker 15966 of the 12th Division 7th Battalion, Norfolk Regt > was born on the 14th June, 1896 at Needingworth Road, St Ives. > > He was the son of Arthur Walker, farm labourer, and Emma Walker nee > Cook.
