By 1930, the Wall family had moved to Siler City, N.C., where Walter's father worked as a salesman for a dry goods store. Walter Wall attended high school in Siler City, graduating in 1936. Before World War II, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and graduated from the university in 1940. At the time of his federal draft registration for WWII, Wall was living in Siler City, and working for the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. Wall was inducted into the U.S. Army Air Corps (later the U.S. Army Air Force) on February 26, 1941, at Fort Bragg, N.C. He was one of three brothers who would serve in World War II. He was initially assigned to the Quartermaster Corp. He trained at the Quartermaster Corps Officer Candidate School at Camp Lee, Virginia; then served as an executive officer of a motor maintenance company. Wall trained in aviation and aerial navigation at Santa Ana, California; Eagle Field Camp, California; Gardner Army Airfield, California; and Ellington Field, Texas. Wall was assigned to the Air Corps with the 511th Bombardment Squadron, 351st Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force. The 351st Bomb Group flew strategic bombing missions from their base at Polebrook, Northamptonshire, England, from April 1943 to June 1945. Wall arrived in England in June of 1944 and flew six missions with the 511th Bombardment Squadron from July 29 to August 6, 1944. Wall was a First Lieutenant when his Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber was shot down on August 6, 1944, during a mission over Berlin, Germany. He was held for nine months as a prisoner-of-war (POW), and was initially sent to the POW camp Stalag Luft III Sagan in Silesia, Bavaria, Germany. He was moved later to Stalag XIII-D Nürnberg Langwasser, on the former Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg, Germany. He was next sent to Stalag VII A in Moosburg, Germany, from which he was liberated on June 6, 1945. After the war, Wall married Rebecca Doub on July 21, 1945, in Moore County, N.C. Wall held various business positions following his military service, including the following: a salesman and zone sales manager for Burroughs Corporation; the vice-president of Municipal Forms and Systems of Durham, N.C.; the plant manager for Wallace Computer Services; and one of the founders and directors of Major Business Systems Inc. in Hillsborough, N.C. Wall would end up moving to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Walter A. Wall died on September 11, 2014, in Oklahoma City, and was buried in Raleigh Memorial Park in Raleigh, N.C."},{"label":"Digital Characteristics","value":"4 pages"},{"label":"Format","value":["Summaries"]},{"label":"Rights","value":"All rights held by the State Archives of NC.
