264092 Pte. John Walker British Army 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders from:East Finchley, Middlesex (d.15th Feb 1945) Private John Walker, 2nd Battalion, Gordon Highlanders was killed in action during the battle for Singapore. He was the son of Joseph and Catherine Walker who lived in East Finchley in Middlesex. John Walker was married to Susan and he was my great uncle. John's body was never found after the battle. During my childhood in the 1970's, my Great Aunts Annie and Betty used to think that one day, John would return home. During the 1970's there were the occasional stories of Japanese soldiers emerging from the jungle, not realising that the war was over. This always gave my Great Aunts hope. Alas, it wasn't to be. John's name appears on the memorial wall alongside his brothers in arms who were also lost during the fall of Singapore in 1945. Rest in Peace, John. He was 27 years old when he died.
