Walter at that time was a Solder and was in the battle of the the Somme and wrote a War Diary of Events at that time. Extracts of this can be seen on Page 1

His parents were William Hutchinson and Lucy Bamforth. William was born at Beighton and Lucy born at Handsworth Woodhouse near Sheffield. William was born in 1855 and Lucy in 1848, they were married at Handsworth Sheffield. William was down as a Carter, but later was a Coal Miner Both William & Lucy died at Denaby Main, but were buried at Beighton Church.
