Walter NUTBEAM WW1
« on: Tuesday 20 January 09 14:45 GMT (UK) »
Walter NUTBEAM (born Winchester 1886), Private 7982 (enlisted Winchester 28 Oct 1905) 1st battalion, Dosetshire regiment was killed on October 12th 1914 aged 28, his brother Albert, who was in the same regiment buried him where he lay (Anyway that was what I was told), so his body was not given a proper burial and it is still there in France.
The military record is one of those that has been lost in WW2, and the Keep Museum Dorset can only confirm that he was killed on the Pont-Fixe-Le Planatain Rd between Bethune and La Basse. Any information on where the regiment was from 1905 to 1914? Or any other info?
I have information on where he was born mother, father, marriage, census returns etc

Hi.
Thanks for that reply Richard that is he. Its odd that Aldershot thing as he is on the  Pont Fix diary casualty list and is as Sylviaann says his name is on the Le Touret and the Portsmouth memorial list of the dead.
