After retirement from the British Army in 1972, Walker grew alarmed at the social situation developing in Britain. Publication of his editorial in The Telegraph brought him in contact with like-minded anti-Communists, with whom he attempted to assemble a private army of sorts called Civil Assistance. Even Lord Mountbatten offered his services. The subsequent rise of Thatcherism coincided with a loss of public interest in his organization. Walker's health declined in the 1980s.
