2Lt. Gerald Hirst
British Army 3rd Btn. Kings Liverpool Regiment
from:The Bridge House, Bedwas, Newport.
(d.26th Feb 1917)
Gerald Hirst, an officer with the Kings Liverpool Regiment was a 19 year old Bedwas boy who died saving a comrade from enemy fire in 1917. I would like to share with you the achievements of Year 9 pupils at Bedwas High School Caerphilly in their work commemorating a local hero from WW1. We would be most grateful if you could spare 10 mins of your time to view the animation and hopefully share it with whoever you so wish as a celebration of their efforts and in fitting memory to all those who sacrificed in service to our country.
