 Herbert Wilcox | Biography (1892-1977)
One of England's top producer-directors from the '20s until World War II, Herbert Wilcox was born in Ireland and worked as a journalist before serving as a flyer with the British during World War I. He entered the movie business as a distributor in 1919, and three years later began producing movies.
Wilcox was one of the few producers in England during the '20s with a Hollywood-style flair for showmanship, and occasionally imported American stars such as Dorothy Gish for his films.
He went to Hollywood in the wake of the latter movie, but was not able to repeat its success, and returned to England, where he was never able to repeat his pre-war success, although he did co-produce one superb film, The Beggar's Opera (1954), starring for actress Laurence Olivier and directed by Peter Brook.

During a local operation on the morning of 12 September 1918, in front of Laventie, the flank platoon of ‘A’ Company 2/4th Oxf and Bucks was held up by heavy and persistent machine gun fire from a trench about 70 yards distant.

He then worked his way up the trench, bombed the next gun position (during which action two of his section were wounded), and himself again rushed the gun, killed the gunner in a hand-to-hand struggle, and put the gun out of action.
