Pte. Percy Laurence Thompson

British Army 2nd Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment

from:Hull

(d.16th August 1917)

Percy Thompson was my grandfather. He died during the Third battle of Ypres serving his country, leaving behind twin baby girls. As part of the 8th Division he advanced and they achieved their objective. Unfortunately, the right and left flanks stalled and the battalion took a pounding, suffering many casualties. My grandfather was one of them. Although I never knew him I am proud of him and am commemorating the centenary of his death.
