L/Cpl. Percy John Williamson
British Army 9th Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment
from:Blackheath Road
(d.14th September 1918)
Percy J Williamson was a Lance Corporal, who joined up in 1916, initially with 9th Battalion, Northamptonshire Regiment but who was transferred to 147th Company Labour Corps.
He was killied in action on Saturday, 14th of September 1918, dying of his wounds at the Casualty Clearing station at Arneke. He’s buried in Arneke British Cemetery. I can't find any further details, but according to family tradition, he died at Verdun and his mother (my maternal aunt) apparently never got over her loss and died in 1939.
