Longwick

Death of Private CHAPMAN
We regret to have to record the death of Pte. Walter Chapman, Royal Sussex Regiment. The deceased soldier, who was 19 years of age, enlisted on Feb 20 1917 and was trained at Salisbury and North Walsham. He went to France on Sept 9, joining the Royal Sussex Regiment, and was killed in action on Sept 25. Previous to his enlistment he attended the Council School at Longwick, and subsequently was employed at the Welch Ale Brewery at Princes Risborough where he was much liked and respected by his fellow workers. Two other sons of Mr and Mrs Chapman of the Red Lion, Longwick, are at present serving in France - one with the RGA, the other in the Royal Fusiliers. Much regret is felt by all who knew the deceased, also sympathy for the parents in their great loss.
