Captain Frederic John Walker, (3 June, 1896 – ) served in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

The son of Commander Frederic M. Walker, R.N., this man's name is offered in some Service Records, and in at least some Navy Lists[1] as "Frederick". I have somewhat arbitrarily chosen Frederic as the proper spelling.

Walker entered the Royal Navy with the May 1909 intake term at the Training Establishment. He passed out with sixty-one other midshipmen in April, 1913 ranked fourth in order of merit on his examinations.[2]

Walker was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 August, 1917.

Walker was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 August, 1926.

Walker was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1931.

Walker was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1940.[Fact Check]
