Gnr. Percy John Skull
British Army 1/1st Highland Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire
My great grandfather, Percy Skull, served as a Gunner with the 1/1st Highland Heavy Battery from 22nd of January to 11th of October 1917 when he was gassed. He then spent time at the Military Heart Hospital, Sobraon Barracks, Colchester and was diagnosed with disorderly action of the heart. He went on to serve as a gunner with the Anti Aircraft Brigade on the Isle of Wight.
He went back to being a Postman after the war and despite his heart condition, following the gas attack, lived to be 96.
