| Biographical data |
| Name: Walter, Hermann August Eduard Georg |
| Born: 16 Mar. 1866 |
| Died: 1 May 1954 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Hilbert (in his book on Napier, pp.91-92) gives 3 games played against Napier in Berlin in 1900. Was this the same 'Walter'? Dates of birth and death from official records sent by Alan McGowan. There was also a Berthold Walter of Wilmersdorf active in the 1920s, and it is possible that some events attributed to Hermann Walter should be attributed to Berthold Walter. |
