  1. So sorry to hear of another casualty of the war in Afghanistan. Stephen Walker was obviously an extremely capable and experienced soldier. My thoughts are with Leona and the rest of his family and colleagues at this time. I have created a tribute dedicated to Stephen at Friends At Rest (http://www.friendsatrest.com/2515/memorials/stephen-walker/). May he rest in peace.
