Walker RN

Now out of print, copied here to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Walker's death on 9th July 1944. I was lucky enough to obtain a first edition of this book. Despite numerous attempts to find the copyright owner, if any, the search came to naught, no replies. Click on the links above to read. Links temporarily removed as I have been passed some information about a possible copyright.

In Headquarters Western Approaches I have added a few of photo's taken by me on a visit there on July 8th 2003. That page is dedicated to: 2004740 Leading Aircraftswoman Patricia Elizabeth Lane WRAF

If you have any newspaper cuttings of anything to do with Capt Walker, I would be most grateful for a copy!

That when war comes to a country there is only one course for its people to take, and that is to fight as hard as they can until it is won.. . or lost. That it is necessary for the sacrifice, the unselfish and continuing effort and the heroism of deliberate courage to be recorded so that it cannot ever be forgotten. That the strain, discomfort and boredom which are the three predominant factors in modern warfare cannot be brought into their true perspective in a book of this kind, or it would be so long and dull that nobody would read it. That there is no glory to be had out of war that cannot be had out of some greater and more creative enterprise. That nothing will ever compensate us for the men we have lost, not even the way so many of them died. They were ready to die because they wanted to save their children and their children�s children from future wars. The least and the most that any of us can do is to devote ourselves to finding a complete and lasting peace, and then to maintaining it with all our energy. - Lt Comd Sir Peter Scott. The Battle Of The Narrow Seas 1945.
