Employed at the Silvertown Brunner Mond works and killed in the 1917 Silvertown explosion. .
gives: "Walter's brother, Edward, was killed in action in September 1914, when the war had barely begun, and his brother Francis was about to enter the fray when Walter was killed. The brothers were born in Guernsey, Channel Islands, to carpenter Henry Peter Mauger and his wife Mary Jane. Edward's 1914 CWGC record gives the parents' address as 28 Liddon Road in Plaistow, and Walter lives at 26 Liddon upon his death in 1917. Other sources say Mary Jane, Walter's mother, worked at a "soda factory" in London's East End after her husband died. Could it be that Walter's mother was also a Brunner Mond employee? And yet when Walter died, the Guernsey Weekly Express wrote that his mother was in Guernsey and heading to London to identify his body, if it was found. The paper also said that Walter's sister, Miss M. Mauger, lived in London at the time."
