L/Cpl. Bertram John "Unk" Hickman
British Army 1/8th Btn, C Coy, 9 Plt. Worcestershire Regiment
from:Worcester
My great uncle Bertram Hickman, known to all as Unk, served in the Great War with the Worcester Regiment. His army service record was lost in the Blitz in 1940, so I'm having to piece together his war record from medal rolls, regimental rolls and other documents I can find or that already in the possession of the family.
He joined the Worcester Regiment, according to the records I have found, in November 1916 and left the colours in Nov 1919. He served overseas on active service with the 1/8th Btn, the 17th Btn and I have also found reference to him serving with No.3 Chemical School at GHQ, whether he was undergoing a course or on the staff is unclear. He was promoted to L/Cpl and completed an NCO Cadre in 1919. He survived the war and was awarded the Victory Medal and the War Medal.
