2nd Lt. Walter Gerald Hicks
British Army
(d.12th Aug 1915)
Trying to trace more information on Gerald Hicks who, I believe, was the grandson of Walter Hicks, founder of St Austell Brewery in Cornwall. Gerald was allegedly shot by a sniper in Armentieres in 1915. Would you be able to shed any light on this? Which regiment was likely to have been in the area at that time?
