Wartime Service
Fighting with the Lewis Gun Section, Percy had been missing since the attack on St Julien during the Third Battle of Ypres when his anxious parents put an article in the Hertfordshire Express on October, wanting information about their son. They had not heard from him since he went into action with the Herts Regiment on the 31st of July.
The same newspaper reports in June 1918 that his parents have received official notification that it must be concluded that their son was killed at St Julien.
