  Notes	From Wikipedia, April 2008: "He was 39 years old, and a Captain in the 4th Gurkha Rifles, Indian Army, employed Bikanir Camel Corps during the Third Somaliland Expedition when, on 22 April 1903 after the action at Daratoleh, Somaliland (now Somalia), the rearguard got considerably behind the rest of the column. Captain Walker and George Murray Rolland, with four other men were with a fellow officer when he fell badly wounded, and while one went for assistance, Captain Walker and the rest stayed with him, endeavouring to keep off the enemy. This they succeeded in doing, and when the officer in command of the column (John Edmund Gough) arrived, they managed to get the wounded man on to a camel. He was, however, hit a second time and died immediately. He later served in the First World War. He also achieved the rank of Major General. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the National Army Museum."
