SHEPHERDS in Newport

[signalman]

I am trying to trace Charles and Walter Shepherd born in 1890s and who went to war in the 14-18 great war I believe they sustained injuries and we think Charles died in 1934 but cant find any trace of Walter although we found that Walter was married to Agnes Burgess and Charles was wed to M. Shakespear .My wife is has heard lots of stories about these two and is very curious to find out the truth as regards their war record .Somebody out there must know something !!!!!
