Pte. Cyril Walker
British Army 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards
from:Forest Town, Mansfield
Cyril Walker was my late wife's older brother and our grand daughter is currently doing a school project on WW1/WW2.
We have some of Cyril's service medals and know that after the war he served in Palestine and later in Tripoli where he died. He was a Lance Sergeant and a member of his regiment's speedway team and died whilst undergoing an operation to remove his appendix on 15th November 1950.
Although two of his nephews are still around their detailed memories of Cyril are very sketchy as they were quite young at the time of his death. It would be nice to learn more of his wartime service and involvement.
