Pte. Percy Albert Meek
British Army 1st Btn. Norfolk Regiment
from:Snettisham, Norfolk
Percy Meek was treated for shell-shock by Dr. Arthur Hurst at Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley and then Seale-Hayne Military Hospital, Newton Abbot, Devon. There is a Pathe News film online. Percy is confined to a wheel chair, mute and paralyzed. Eventually Dr Hurst was able to get through and Percy gave basket making lessons to his fellow patients. Percy eventually went home, continued the basket making business and died in 1968. Sometimes the stories of those who survived is more profound than that of those who died.
