Details from death registration (image of GRO copy)
In my family I had heard he died as a result of injuries sustained in WW1 (I understood this from being told by my parents from a child - due to the consequeces on his daughter, 'Dadee')
Not recorded on CWGC
Walter did not die during the War, but I understand he is one of the many whose lives may not have been claimed by the war but died within a few years of it through the effects of the war, injury or disease.
Hence I think he should be honoured as a war victim on this website.Siblings 5 brothers and 4 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch John Alfred OSBORN, b. Mar Q 1845, Ramsgate, Kent, England , d. 21 Jan 1908, 7, Fort Crescent, Margate, Kent, England (Age ~ 63 years) (Father)
