He was sent to Malta in the September after war broke out and was there until the following January. He was then sent to France where he served for three months before being sent back home and discharged as no longer physically fit (cataract). He married Marion the following year.<\/p>\n<p>Walter and Florence lived at 168 Cambridge Road, Willesden until the war started (or just after), and all directory entries record him as a Baker.
