Additional Information:

Frederic (Deric) Clöeté Walker (born 21 April 1898) was the son of Frederic James and Helen Sarah Woodbine Walker, née Clöeté. Frederic, senior, was born at Marylebone, Middlesex and Helen at Berhampore, India.

1901 London Census: 27, Upper Hamilton Terrace - Frederic C. Walker, aged 2 years, born Paddington, London, son of Frederick J. and Helen S.W. Walker.

1911 London Census: 27, Upper Hamilton Terrace, N.W. - Frederic C. Walker, aged 13, born Marylebone, London, son of Frederic James and Helen S.W. Walker.

Frederic attended Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk and is commemorated on the Roll of Honour there.

Frederic may have been employed for a short period on the Gledstone Estate at West Marton, owned by Richard Foulis Roundell. If so, this would explain his inclusion on the Parish of Marton Roll of Honour.

Frederic received his Royal Aero Club Cert. No. 3681 (pilots license) on 1st October 1916. He was killed in a flying accident.
