Three of the surviving four sons of the late Henry Bird and Maud Bird of Morrab Terrace, Penzance were lost in Flanders and France in World War One. Thanks to the meticulous and extensive research of Richard Devonshire (who grew up in Townshend and Leedstown) we have been able to uncover their stories. A fourth brother, Hubert, survived the war and went on to found one of of the most successful construction companies in Canada, Bird Construction.
