Bravery on the Somme
Percy wrote expressive letters back home to his wife and mother. After training in Egypt, he was embroiled in the bloody battle for Pozières where he was wounded. Later on, in a second battle, his bravery was awarded a Military Medal. Some felt that he deserved a higher honour.
