L/Cpl. George Edgar Hurd
British Army 1st Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:London
George Hurd initially enlisted in the Army on 21st Jan 1932 and saw service in Burma until 1939. He was called up as a first reservist in 1939 and was part of the BEF in France. He was captured at Dunkirk whilst fighting in the rearguard in 1940 and spent the rest of the war as a PoW in Stalag 9b.
George met his one and only wife Ena, at Folkestone upon repatriation. He passed away peacefully in 1987 aged 76. I have two splendid photo albums of his time in Burma and his two 39/45 medals, cap badge and army record book, which I look at from time to time.
