  • I was privileged to visit Alexander Walker's grave at Dochy Farmmas, Belgium in 2012. I only learnt about him earlier that year, never knowing that my Great Grandmother Margaret Walker( Later Christmas) had an elder brother, killed in the war. I would dearly love to see a photo of him, or receive any information about him.
