Photograph of Harry Walter with the machine gun platoon of the Oxford&Bucks regiment. Harry is standing on the immediate left of the mule. || Harry Walter was already in the Territorial Army when war broke out, aged about 21. In 1914 he joined the Oxford&Bucks Light Infantry, in the machine gun platoon. Harry thought the world of the mule who carried the guns. He bragged about WWI. He was posted in Mesopotamia and then later Italy. He brought a mandolin back from Italy and also a squeeze-box concertina. After the war Harry kept the Seven Stars pub in Box Hedge Square, Banbury, and attended Stanley Walter's wedding. During WWII he manned anti-aircraft guns in Banbury.
