Pte. Harry Perry
British Army 5th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Birmingham
Harry Perry was my 92 year old Grandmothers father. He served in the Boer war then enlisted in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in WW1. We understand he may have been involved in the sinking of the HMHS, or HMT Donegal off the Southampton coast on the 17th of April 1917, by a German U boat UC21. He survived, but some of his mates didn't. He was a bit naughty and was docked varying amounts of pay on consecutive years from 1915 to 1918 for overstaying his pass on Tattoos held in Southampton and Cowes.
My Nan knows nothing of her family history as they all passed away when she was young. We have sisters and brothers names but nothing for her grandparents. I'm hoping to find a bit more about great granddad Harry. Any help whatsoever would be awesome.
