Albert George Walker

He remains on the Western Front

Albert George Walker from Parkham Tasmania was only 20-years-old when he travelled abroad to fight in World War One.

Albert Walker’s introduction to war proved costly, with the battalion losing over 350 men killed or wounded during the Battle of Messines. What he did not know that was that that this was just a prelude to the intensely ferocious fighting that was to come.

Albert’s death marked a life extinguished, a battlefield statistic one of 275,000 British Soldiers killed in the Battle of Passchendaele. Albert's family were left wondering and grieving the life of a loved one. An innocent and young life which had such potential ahead of him.

Albert's brother, John William Walker, returned to Tasmania a decorated war veteran.

Albert Walker was researched for the Frank MacDonald MM Memorial Study Tour by John Walker's great-granddaughter, Sherri Rainbow, a Scottsdale High School teacher.
