Description

Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire born inside left Frank Walker was working as a civil servant, and like his older brothers before him, Jim and Willie (who was wounded fighting in the First World War) playing for amateur Scottish League club Queen’s Park, for whom he scored 6 goals in a dozen matches in 1916-17, when he was called up to serve with The Royal Field Artillery. Holding the rank of Bombardier, he was part of the Army of Occupation and was stationed in Cologne.
