Frederick William Walker
British Army 14th Battalion Suffolk Regiment
from:London
Grandad, Frederick Walker, was a shopkeeper in the Streatham / Mitcham area of south London. His two older sons had both volunteered for the Army in 1913 and were both serving on the front line in France in 1916. That year, due the heavy losses on the battle front, an appeal went out for older men to join up for home duties in order to release younger soldiers. Grandad volunteered, was placed in the Suffolk Regiment, 14th Battalion and posted to Alexandra Palace (known to Londoners as Ally Pally). This grand building was being used as an internment camp for German and Austrian civilian aliens. Grandad was not a strong man, and after it was agreed he was not fit enough for guard duties he worked in the cookhouse for the rest of the war. Granny had to run the shop with help of my dad, aged 13, and two younger sisters. Dad's life story gives details of being able to visit his dad at Ally Pally on a regular basis. It also describes the fear when the Germans dropped their bombs from zeppelins, not knowing they were bombing fellow Germans.

from:Burton on Stather, Scunthorpe
(d.29 October 1914)
Horace Walker was my grandmother's younger brother & had been in service in Lincolnshire before the war but on his death certificate his home address is that of my grandmother in Sheffield. He was 32. He died in the 3rd London General Hospital, Wandsworth with the cause of death given as malignant oedema of the thigh.
I would be most interested to discover more about his war experiences & how/where he received the thigh wound. His medals suggest that he had served on the continent but I have no other details. It must have been a very early engagement for him to have been injured, repatriated by this date in the war; or perhaps he was just kicked by a mule before seeing any action. If anyone can enlighten me in any way I would be most grateful.
