Herbert Walter, always known as Walter or Wally, was born in Esk, the second child of Walter and Alice. He grew up in the Esk district and excelled at sport, winning trophies for boxing, cricket and tennis. He enjoyed a social life with his brother Norman and sister Ivy and their many relatives andfriends. They often participated in musical evenings and tennis parties at the family home at Esk.
He worked for a short time as apprentice wheelwright with his father. Later he was offered a position with the local butcher and this became his trade. He left Esk and became a driver with 161 Australian Transport Co. He later became involved with the Army Medical Research experiments in Malaria and was awarded a Distinguished Service Certificate for his participation. He married Neita Wyllie in 1942 and, after his discharge from the Army in 1945, they lived at Nundah. Walter purchased a butcher shop at Deagon where he worked for many years. Neita and Walter had no children. After retiring, they spent their last years in Esk. Walter died in the Esk Hospital. He was a great gardener and loved animals. |
