Walter Walker (British Army officer)
General Sir Walter Colyear Walker & Two Bars (11 November 1912 – 12 August 2001) was a senior British Army officer who served as Commander-in-Chief of Allied Forces Northern Europe from 1969 until his retirement in 1972.
==Early life==
Walker was born on a tea plantation in British India to a military family, one of four sons. At the end of the First World War Walker and his family moved back to Britain and he was sent to Blundell's School in Devon.〔(Dennis Barker, 'General Sir Walter Walker', ''The Guardian'', 14 August 2001 )〕 Even as a child Walker had a militaristic streak; in his memoirs ''Fighting On'' he says he ordered the previously "idle, unpatriotic, unkempt" pupils into "showing the school what smartness on the parade ground meant". His teachers became alarmed at Walker's strict behaviour and tried to explain the difference between "driving" and "leading".〔Andy Beckett, ''Pinochet in Piccadilly. Britain and Chile's Hidden History'' (London: Faber and Faber, 2003), pp. 192–93〕
