Fl Lt William George "Johnny" Walker

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 144 Squadron

from:Palmers Green, London

(d.12th June 1943)

William Walker served in the Royal Air Force in WW2 flying with 144 Squadron. He died 12th of June 1943 aged 31 years. He is buried in a joint grave with Pilot Officer Hawes, (Navigator), in St.Andrews Churchyard, Tangiers. I assume both bodies were unrecognisable, and it so followed as custom to bury them together. The Squadron at the time were tasked to attack enemy shipping in the Mediterranean from their base in Algeria.
