Date of Death:

Age:

Regiment/Service:
Royal Marine Light Infantry
Portsmouth Bn. R.N. Div.
Grave Reference:
D. 37.
Cemetery:
CAIRO WAR MEMORIAL CEMETERY
Additional Information:
Son of William and Mary Walker; husband of Florence Walker, of 17, Selbourne St., Pym St., Nottingham. Born at Nottingham.
Military History
Walker became one of 'Kitchener's Marines' who were transferred from the Sherwood Foresters to the RMLI. Des Turner notes '600 RMLI transfers came from 2 regiments - 200 from the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI) and 400 from the Sherwood Foresters. They were predominantly ex-miners and labourers, fit men wanted for their ability to dig trenches and tunnels. The 200 KOYLI recruits were transferred to Plymouth Division RMLI and were given service numbers PLY/1(S) to PLY200(S). This was also the case for the Sherwood Foresters 200 who were dispatched to Portsmouth where already 30 men were recruited and so they became PO/31(S) to PO/230(S). 200 remaining Foresters went to Chatham and were numbered CH/1 to CH/200(S).'
