Henry de Rosenbach Walker

Born in Ealing on 30 May 1867, he was the son of R. F. Walker of Shooter's Hill, Kent, and Marie von Rosenbach of Estonia. He was educated at Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge, and worked as a clerk in the Foreign Office from 1889 to 1892.

Walker moved between politics, travel, and writing. He stood as a Liberal candidate before eventually serving as MP for West St Pancras in 1910, and parliamentary records show he was active in the House of Commons in the early 20th century.

As an author, he is most closely linked with Australasian Democracy, a book that explores political life in Australasia and helped preserve his name beyond his political career. He died on 31 July 1923.
