Walter Henry GARNER was born in Burbage in the summer of 1885. He initially worked as a collier and was still living with his family in 1911, aged 25.

He joined the 5th Leicestershire Regiment and served in France from 28 Feb 1915.

He married an older widow, Elizabeth Priscilla BARRETT, in November 1915. She had two daughters Rillis Annie BARRETT (1906) and Emma Lilian BARRETT (1909). They had no children together.

He later moved to the Infantry Branch of the Machine Gun Corps, specifically 138 Company.
