Captain Johnnie Walker - hero of the Second World War
Throughout 1943 and 1944, Walker and his loyal crews repeatedly put themselves in harm’s way, doggedly pursuing their targets and eventually sinking 15 enemy craft. A significant engagement came in July 1943 when, in the Bay of Biscay, Walker ordered the signal ‘General Chase’, permitting the ships to abandon their positions and pursue the enemy. This was only the third time such an order had ever been given, putting Captain Walker in the same ranks as Sir Francis Drake and Horatio Nelson!
