Pte. Percy Rainbird 9th Btn. Essex Regiment (d.12th Oct 1915) Percy Rainbird was my Mother's Uncle.I'm afraid I know very little of his past He came from a large family, which included a brother Tom who was in the Royal Navy as a regular in 1909. Another older brother, Frank, who was also in France at the time of Percy's death, served with the Australian 6th Infantry Battalion. Frank also died in the conflict on 2nd September 1918. The family came from the Brentwood area, and descendants still live in the area today. I have no knowledge of the circumstances or the whereabouts of Percy's death, nor where he may be commemorated.

Pte. Charles William Rawlings 9th Battalion Essex Regiment Charles Rawlings was my Grandfather. Born in January 1888 he and his two brothers all enlisted for the start WWI with the Essex Regiment.
Both his brothers were sadly killed in action, one in 1917 the other in 1918. Charlie was taken prisoner and thankfully survived until a ripe old age, passing away in 1974. He would never have anything bad spoken about the German soldiers and in fact I have a letter from one that befriended him at the camp, sent after the end of the war.
