ALBERT WALKER
Remembered with honour Arras Memorial: Bay 5.
He enlisted in Watford; was entitled to the Victory, British War and 1914-15 Star medals, his qualifying date being 1 May 1915, and was killed in action during the Battle of Arras when being relieved from the front line at Greenland Hill. Unfortunately, Albert’s Service Record appears to be one that did not survive the World War Two bombing.

His parents are unknown.
Albert was born 1873 in Oxford, and married 1898 in the Oxford district. He resided in Watford.
