Alan Burn, who ser ved under Walker, brilliantly captures the feeling of those dramatic days - the sheer hell of the Atlantic weather, the everpresent menace of the lurking U-boats, but above all the quite remarkable spirit which Walker managed to inspire in all those who served in the ships under his command.
