Pte. Charles Albert Hearn
British Army 9th Btn. North Staffordshire Regiment
from:121 Oxford Road, Windsor, Berkshire
(d.16th Sept 1918)
Bertie Hearn was my wife's uncle on her mother's side, she was Bertie's sister, Rosa Jessie Hearn. I found him during research of the family tree.
On 23rd May 2015 my wife and I were taken to Sunken Road Cemetery at Boisleux-St.Marc.
We believe that we are the first of the family to visit his grave. Our son Matthew had purchased a duplicate set of Bertie's medals to which he was entitled. We photographed his headstone with the medals and left two wooden crosses with personal messages from his niece Valerie Swinnerton and two great, great nephews.
Unfortunately we never knew about Bertie from the family, so we do not know of any existing photos of Bertie himself.
