Eric William Kevin Walton, GC, DSC (15 May 1918 – 13 April 2009), known as Kevin Walton, was an officer in the Royal Navy during World War II and, in 1946, was a winner of the Albert Medal, which in 1971 was superseded by the George Cross.〔(Walton on the list of Albert Medal - George Cross Exchange Holders )〕 ==Early life== Walton was born in Kobe in Japan in 1918. He was the son of Murray Walton, a missionary, and his wife Myra (née Hebbert),〔(Walton's biography on the City & Guilds College Association website )〕 whose family had served for four generations in the Indian Civil Service. His godfather was Howard Somervell, a member of the 1922 and 1924 Everest expeditions. Later, encouraged by Somervell, Walton developed an interest in climbing.〔(Walton's obituary in ''The Daily Telegraph'' 16 April 2009 )〕 He spent his early years living in Japan with his parents before coming back to Britain to spend four years being brought up by a great aunt and uncle while his parents returned to their missionary work in Japan. Walton was educated at Monkton Combe School and Imperial College London, where he trained as a Civil Engineer.〔
