HGS Old Boy Memoir Published

Charles Horton who was a pupil at HGS in the early 1900s recently had his memoir called Stretcher Bearer! Fighting for life in the trenches published by Lion Hudson. Charles volunteered in 1915 for the Royal Army Medical Corps after gaining his degree at Birmingham University. The Library has been kindly donated a copy of the book by his granddaughter and it will provide an excellent reference point for the study of the First World War as well as acting as a testimony to the men of Birmingham who experienced the horrors of the trenches.
