Arthur
Walker served during the Great War, landing in France in March 1915. He was wounded
on the 3rd of July 1916, suffering a gunshot wound to the hand.
The first
three medals are unconfirmed and have major naming issues! His 1914/15 Star was
returned for amendment; however, from the naming style, it looks like a
replacement was sent in around 1925/26.
