Sgt. Percival Robert Allan MSM.
Manchester Regiment 18th Btn.
from:Manchester
My relative Percy R. Allan survived in the Manchester Pals 18th Battalion. He went to war on the 18th November 1915 & gained the Meritorious Service Medal. His name on the battalion photo is listed incorrectly as Allen P. Percy started as a private and later became a sergeant.
Percy was one of the lucky ones that survived the war & owned his own butchers shop on Lloyd St Manchester. I am told he had a wound to his leg. He married and had one son. He is buried in Southern Cemetery in Manchester with his wife and son. (he has no headstone). We don't have any photos or medals and we do not know what he did during his service.
