| MID SUSSEX TIMES -3 Oct 1916 |
| TWINEHAM - KILLED IN ACTION Mr. and Mrs. M. Walder, of New Cottages, Hickstead, Twineham, have received official intimation that their only son, Private Percy Walder, attached to a machine gun section of the Royal Sussex Regiment, was killed in action on September 12th. He was 22 years of age, and had been on foreign soil just two months. His sorrowing parents have received many kind and sympathetic messages for which they are sincerely grateful. His Captain has also written :- "It is with the deepest regret I have to inform you that your son, Private P. Walder, was killed in action on September 12th. He was shot by sniper, and died within a quarter-of-an-hour. Although he had only been under my command a short time, it was long enough for me to realise that you son was a good soldier, and was always cheery and willing, which I hope you will consider as high praise under conditions out here. Please accept my deepest sympathy in your loss." |
