Walter James BarneyWalter was killed in an accident with a lorry when he was returning from a Fireman's Annual Dinner with 2 other Firemen. The lorry had 2 bald tyres, so bald that the material was showing, but the coroner said that this was not the cause of the accident, it was the snow covering the sides of the road. Walter never drank any alcohol. One of his coleagues was also injured. Walter was walking on the outside of the pavement. They were walking back to Alton and a forestation car was coming out to collect them. He was buried on his son's first birthday, my Father Raymond Russell BarneyContributed by:
