Pte. Claude Thomas Bicker
British Army Kings Liverpool Regiment
from:Aintree, Liverpool
(d.1st June 1917)
Claude Bicker was born in Carlisle, Cumbria in 1895. He initially enlisted in the Kings Liverpool Regiment on 11th of January 1915 aged 20. His battalion left Formby in July 1916 for France. Sometime around August 1916 he was transferred to the 8th Battalion of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment under the new service number 29979. On 1st of July 1917, Claude was killed whilst attached to the Machine Gun Corps aged 22.
I believe he was attached to the 7th Coy. Machine Gun Corps when he died.
Their War Diary confirmed that they were in the Wolverghem sector and that three men were killed and two were wounded at North Midland Farm.
