EXTRACTED SUMMARY for John Clifford Walker:
. 1849 Jun. 7th, born Erin, Ontario
. 1856-58 - Guelph, Ontario

.47th Lancashire Regiment of Foot Soldiers (Nick name of the Reg. is Wolfe's Own - thus a very distinguished troop for a Canadian to belong):
.The 47th Reg. wore a black line in gold lace of their full-dress uniform as a sign of permanent mourning for Gen. Wolfe. It was customary for the regimental band to play 'Wolfe's Lament' just before the playing of the National Anthem.
- 1861 - Trent Affair:  When 2 Confederate representatives were forcibly removed by Union authorities from the British steamer Trent in 1861, Lincoln released them in response to British pressure. - Stationed in New Brunswick & were transported by sleigh to their stations.
Ref: The Illustrated London News, London, Saturday, December 21, 1861.

. 1863 Feb 16 - Halifax to reinforce Canada's defenses during the tense times of the Trent Crisis. - 1863-66 stationed Montreal;
. 1866 June 2 - Battle of Ridgeway, just west of Fort Erie. Afterwards on the afternoon of Tues., June 5th, in Toronto, a company of the 47th was in waiting with ambulances to convey the wounded out of the boat to cabs. Six coffins were brought down & at 3:30 p.m. the procession started from the Drill Shed to the Cemetery, preceded by the Band of the 47th Regiment, playing the Dead March. (As bugler for the 47th Reg. , John C. Walker must surely have been present. - PJA)

. 1867-68 NS - 1868-9 Barbados, West Indies, (then the Regiment returned to England).
.Jul 20, 1866, the 30th Wellington Battalion of Rifles was established. The headquarters of the 30th Battalion was at Guelph. The annual training encampment was usually held in the last 2 weeks of June in Elora, Ontario. In 1871, the 16th day annual encampment was held with other battalions at Goderich. They left Guelph's Great Western station to Goderich station. It was 2:30 AM by the time the men had spread their bed rolls & still no sign of food. For most of the men, it seemed that only a few minutes had passed when the bugler summoned them out of their tents at 5:30 AM.
