Bertie Crew


Bertie Crew of the Bedfordshire Regiment actually died in 1919 whilst serving in the 'Labour Corps' which was manned by soldiers not rated 'A1'. These were often those who had been previously injured on the battlefied. So it would appear the Bertie did actualy experience Armistice Day. 
He was buried in the Chapel yard of Houghton Regis Baptist Church along with Gilbert Horsler and Thomas King.

My poem for Bertie is on this link:   for bertie.html
