During the First World War •John Walker stayed at home running his farm at Knightwick Manor in Worcestershire, and looking after his brothers' struggling tenancy farms (hops, fruit, cattle, sheep, cider apples). John was also a special constable (Worcs) during the First World War and afterwards served in the specials in the Second World War.

•John's younger brothers •William and *Lawson wrote to him throughout the war. Their letters talk about their conditions in camp in England, including the lack of saddles, their mounts, spies near their camp and sentries shooting towards suspects and near misses. The letters also include little details about the farms back home, such as payments made and warnings about the steam threshing engine (which "will run away").

John's brothers were •William Walker, 'Worcestershire Yeomanry, No 2460', and *Lawson Walker, 'A Squadron, 2 Troop, Worcestershire Yeomanry, No 2461.'
