M.S.M. London Gazette 12 December 1919. ‘023472 2nd Cpl. Walker, J. (Bolton)’. ‘... in recognition of valuable services rendered with the Armies of France and Flanders’.

It is speculated that this award from the last ‘France and Flanders’ list, relates to post-war operations in making the numerous ammunition dumps safe.
