Walter Young
Walter Young served with the Post Office Rifles for several years, latterly as a stretcher bearer. He was captured after being surrounded by Germans firing at him. A bullet went through his helmet and when he put up his hand to hold his head, another bullet went through his hand.
He joined the Post Office Rifles in March 1915 and served for about three years until he was captured by the Germans. Before the war, he trained with the Territorial Army at Abbots Langley, where there is a memorial to the Post Office Rifles. After he was demobbed he bought a plot of land at Scatterdells Lane, Chipperfield, close to Abbots Langley.
He records getting through barbed wire to aid the injured when he was a stretcher bearer at Bullecourt. He was awarded the Military Medal.
When he was captured he was forced to work in a coal mine in Prussia, a job he described as at times worse than being in the trenches.
He was a quiet man who didn't speak of his wartime experiences but his family discovered his written account of his war after his death. This was published as: Wal's War.
Walter, who was born in Islington, was one of eight children. He worked for Royal Mail at a sorting office in Holborn (King Edward Building) from the age of 19 until he retired in 1949 (apart from the First World War years). He was 68 when he died in 1957.
