“ABSOLUTELY FEARLESS SERGEANT”
The accompanying photograph is that of Sergt. George Bevan, King’s Liverpool Regiment, who was killed in action on Easter Monday. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Bevan, 5, School Lane, Hoylake. For some time he was employed at the grocery establishment of Messrs. George Watkins and Sons, afterwards becoming a sailor. He enlisted in September, 1914. He had seen a lot of service and had been twice wounded. He got a reputation for being absolutely fearless – in fact, he met his death through continuing to go on although wounded.
