  just saying he was quite well & all the

  time he had been killed in action. I remember

  that letter so well being drop through the letter

  box & right across it was Edward Fisher

  killed in action in Red letters, so Rev. 

  Norris who was the vicar at that time

  heard about it, so he came across to our

  house to see us & offer his sympathy, then he

  said he would find out more about it, as

  he new Captain Walker who was in the 

  Grenadier Guards he was a great friend of

  him, so not to long after he came & told

  us what happened, it appears Captain Walker

  was wounded & Ted went & put him to

  a place of safety & as Ted was returning

  to the firing line, a sniper caught him in 

  the head he was killed instantly, so Captain 

  Walker sent Mother & Dad a lovely letter

  telling us all what happened & he also told

  us where Ted was buried, which was on

  the North Hills of Super, he also sent

  Mother & Dad 50 pounds, as Ted saved

  his life, so really Reg Ted was really

  the first V.C. of Reading not that

  Potts that they said was as his
