George R. Percy
British Army 255th Tunnelling Company Royal Engineers
I have found a charming little album with WW1 drawings and poems and writings, trying to trace one of the inserts, this is what it says......
Here's wishing you all that you wish, Good luck to all at No 4! (from one of the West Riding boys) signed Geo. R. Percy 255th Coy R.E 21st June 1916.
I would love any info on anything to do with this. Many thanks.
Editors Note:
This type of album was often kept by nurses, the sketches and poems being from the patients in their ward, often as a parting message. There were several hospitals with No.4 in the name, including the 4th Northern General Hospital at Lincoln.
