Loos - Day 3 - 21545 Pte Walter Godman, 4th Bn, Grenadier Guards

21545 Private Walter Godman of the 4th Battalion, Grenadier Guards was killed in action on the 27th September 1915; less than six weeks after he'd arrived in France. He was born in Islington and enlisted in London in January 1915. He was the son of Charles and Ellen Godman of 44 Etherley Road, West Green, London and was just 19 years old at the time of his death. Like so many Loos casualties, Walter has no known grave and is commemorated on the Loos Memorial.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
