First World War Soldier Brought To Life On Facebook

Perhaps the oldest Facebook page has been unveiled, dating back to 10th June 1895.
 
In reality it was launched earlier this month, as the page of a fictional World War One soldier. 
  
The idea is to tell the life story of Walter Carter through regular updates on social media charting his experiences throughout the Great War.
 
Forces TV's Kate Gerbeau met one of the people who helped to bring “Walter” to life, Diz Majores.
