Gnr. Jeffrey Walker
British Army 22nd Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Wallasey
My Grandad Jeffrey Walker was born in 1895 in Liverpool.
According to his demob paper he joined up January 1915, although it's not very clear as it has faded.
There was a story in the family that he was gassed during the war, which left him with chest problems throughout his life, although we don't know any more detail than this.
I remember seeing pictures of him in his uniform, with a horse and a large gun. Sadly we no longer have this picture.
He was disembodied at the end of WW1 to the 2nd Lancs Reserve Battery.
