George Walker PhD
Dr George Walker was a mathematician. It was reported in 1982 that in WWII they ‘had an anti-aircraft battery at the end of the garden. Mrs Walker used to take the “cup that says it all” to quote one of our popular newspapers, about a contemporary situation, to the troops at the bottom of the garden. “They had occasion”, says Dr Walker, a retired mathematician of Emmanuel College, “to try to shoot down accidentally and unsuccessfully one of their own planes”.’ (Source Cambridge News)
