Hi Sandy
You have given the name of your G/Grandad's brother but not his name also what year was he born.

A George Arthur Squires, born 1875 in Attercliffe, seems to have been tried on a number of occasions for Indecent Assault?

Ancestry is free this weekend, so you could register and look up the 1911 census, where George has a brother?

Regarding WW1 Service Records - nearly 70% of them were destroyed in a WW2 bombing raid.

His Medal Index Card should be available - but there an awful lot of Walter Squires!
More than 20! ::)
