He served at Ypres, the Somme and Flanders, where he quickly had to learn the skills required of an army physician. On returning to England in 1918 he became a family practitioner in a poor working class area. He opened a practice, which was attached to his family home, and provided 24 hour care for the local population. He spent the rest of his life diligently attending to his patients. In 1968, Dr. Wood was killed in a car collision in South Africa. To commemorate his life of dedication and service, his son and daughter-in-law, Neil and Susan Wood, established The Walker Wood Foundation to provide financial aid and encouragement to worthy students throughout Canada.

But most of all, he knew that it was compassion, caring and laughter that made a doctor into a healer. He is best remembered for his active involvement and leadership in the Tachycardia plays, in which he made everyone laugh by playing roles such as Richard Simmons.
