William Walker attested for the Manchester Regiment and served with them during the Great War. The two Great War medals appear to have been awarded to different men of the same name. 3359 Pte. W. Walker later transferred to the Royal Air Force.

Sold together with an original photograph of the recipient in uniform, and a note suggesting that he was taken off the beaches during the retreat from Dunkirk in 1940, and that he subsequently served at R.A.F. White Waltham, the home of the Air Transport Auxiliary.
