Add my storyBiography contributed by Stephen Brooks
Walter was one of five Crawford brothers from Tasmania, all of whom served in the Australian Field Artillery. Three of the brothers died during the Great War. They were all aged between 18 and 24 years old. They were all the sons of George and Sarah Ann Crawford of Burnie, Tasmania.
The fifth and youngest brother, Walter Cash Crawford, enlisted as soon as he turned 18, and arrived in France during August 1918. He also served with the artillery and was returned to Australia in July 1919.
Walter also served in the Royal Australian Navy for seven years from 1920 to 1927.
