The sad intelligence appeared in the casualty list of yesterday's papers stating that he died on Sunday at Middleburg of enteric. Tom Walker will be remembered by his schoolfellows of this town as a popular and cheery chum. After leaving school he went to the Newbury Post Office. whence he was removed to Wokiogham. Whilst there be joined the Volunteers, and when the war broke out and volunteers were wanted, he offered to serve in the Company which was formed to join the 2nd Berks. already out at the front. He had been through some fighting. but at last succumbed to enteric. The case is rendered all the more sad by the fact that the bereaved father was looking forward to the return of his two sons—for there is another son In the same Company —near Christmas time, and knew nothing of the illness till picking up the newspaper yesterday.
Tom had written 2 letters home which were published in the NWN - see below |
