==Marine Corps career==
''Walton'' enlisted in the United States Marine Corps on May 19, 1937 at San Francisco, California, and initially served at San Diego, California, before going to the Asiatic Station that autumn. As a member of the 4th Marine Regiment, quartered in the International Settlement of Shanghai, China, ''Walton'' witnessed part of the bloody battle that raged for that key city between Chinese and Japanese forces and, as such, was an early observer of Japanese aggression in the Far East. During his tour in China, he received promotion to private, 1st class, on May 10, 1939.
Returning to the United States in the autumn of 1940, ''Walton'' served successive tours of duty at the Marine barracks at Mare Island, Vallejo, California; the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey; Quantico, Virginia, and New River, North Carolina. He was promoted to Sergeant on August 1, 1941 and platoon sergeant on April 8, 1942.
