The Walker Club was formed in 1844 in Londonderry to perpetuate the memory of the Rev. George Walker, who raised a regiment under Lord Charlemount for the defence of Dungannon, and when Dungannon was abandoned he and his regiment made their way to Derry, to help in the defence of the City. He then became Joint Governor. He fought with King William at the Battle of the Boyne, where he was killed on the 1st day of July, 1690. The club forms part of the "Associated Clubs of the Apprentice Boys of Derry". There are a number of branches to be found in Ayrshire. I was out in Ardrossan when the sound of fifes and drums drifted up the main road and it was clear that the Ardrossan branch was parading within the town. As they passed someone spotted my camera. There did not appear to be many younger men involved.
