Tribute to my Great Uncle

21/10/2012

Walter Henry Moulson was my Great Uncle and was part of the Britsih Expeditionary Force that travelled to France in August 1914. He died one month later at the battle of the Aisne falling at the Chemin Des Dames. He had joined the Grenadier Guards in at least 1911. Prior to this he was a tile carrier working in the village of Shareshill, near Wolverhampton in the English Midlands area. His parents travelled extensively when he was a child as his father was a domestic coachman. His mother was Irish and his father was from Cheshire. Both of huis parents died young, his father aged 41 years and his mother aged 36 years. Walter had two brothers and three sisters. His one brother died in 1912 of Tuberculosis and the other brother, John, had already left the British Army by the outbreak of WW1, however he re-enlsited on hearing of Walters death and joined the Royal Marines Light Infantry. John survived the war and then joined the Metropolitan Police rising to the rank of Inspector during which time he served on the Royal Protection Squad looking after Queen Mary.
Walter and John are both remembered with honour by myself, a former Royal Engineer Corporal who served for 11 years.
