Cpl. Percival Discombe Warren MM.

British Army 1/7th Btn. London Regiment

from:Plymouth

(d.7th Jun 1917)

Sadly Percival Discombe Warren was killed in action on the 7th June 1917 at age 23. After his death, my gran inherited a framed certificate and a military medal which was awarded to Percival for bravery and gallantry on the field. My gran recently passed it on to me and she didn't know a great lot about Percival as she would have been too young to remember much about him. I told my gran I would try to find out as much as I possibly could. Just a couple of days ago I knew nothing about him and today I know what unit he was with and where he was sent. It's been a great experience to learn about all the challenges and the bravery of all who were involved during the First World War. Percival's body was never found. His name is written on a plaque at Ypres memorial
