Wildgoose Vacation Over: The Junes of Walter's Life

Sorry I've been away from this site for so long. It has taken longer than I thought to close down my life in Atlanta and move it up to New York.

However, Walter and his story are never far from my thoughts. To jump-start my writing again, I decided to go over the timeline I've created from his letters and from other research I've done. Though the month is almost behind us, I thought I'd pull out the important events noted by Walter that happened during June. Seems like a good place to start!

1919 June: Walter reports back to his unit in Grantham after a bout with quinsey (complications of tonsillitis) lands him in Grove Road Hospital, Richmond, for two weeks.

1920 June: Walter's C Company goes to Basra to quell the uprising in Mesopotamia (now Iraq).

1926 June 24: Third son, Ronald Leslie, born in Chaubattia, India.

1930 June 6: Walter's final discharge from the army after 22 years' service.

I'm not sure of which aspect of Walter's life I'll focus on next. The Sheffield Workhouse days was where I left off, so maybe I'll pick up there.
