Notes
The Roll lists his address as "Late of Queen's Walk".
(CWGC records that Private W Middleditch, regimental number 37059, died on 5/10/1918 serving in the Bedfordshire Regiment, and is buried in grave 7.3.3090 at Broadway Cemetery in Peterborough. Walter's birth was registered in Peterborough in 1882. He was the son of Susannah Limbert nee Barton and Alfred Walter Middleditch, with whom he was living at 29 Westgate, Peterborough on the the 1901 census. Walter married Florence Annie Craighill in Peterborough in 1906. On the 1911 census they were living at 56 High Street in Rushden, Northants. Soldiers Died in the Great War records that he was living in Bedford when he enlisted. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects record that he died in the War Hospital in Huddersfield and that his widow Florence was his legatee. His death in Huddersfield is inaccurately recorded in the General Register Office's Death Index as "William Middleditch". On 11/10/1918 the Bedfordshire Times reported Walter's death, and the "In Memoriam" column of that issue included a message stating he had died on 5/10/1918 from wounds he had received in action in France on 20/9/1918).
