Cpl. Percival Discombe Warren MM.
British Army 1/7th Btn. London Regiment
from:Plymouth
(d.7th Jun 1917)
Sadly Percival Discombe Warren was killed in action on the 7th June 1917 at age 23. After his death, my gran inherited a framed certificate and a military medal which was awarded to Percival for bravery and gallantry on the field. My gran recently passed it on to me and she didn't know a great lot about Percival as she would have been too young to remember much about him. I told my gran I would try to find out as much as I possibly could. Just a couple of days ago I knew nothing about him and today I know what unit he was with and where he was sent. It's been a great experience to learn about all the challenges and the bravery of all who were involved during the First World War. Percival's body was never found. His name is written on a plaque at Ypres memorial
Pte. Temperly Warren
British Army 7th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:Hendon, Sunderland
Temperly Warren enlisted on the 6th of May 1914, aged 19. He landed in Boulogne in April 1915, and saw action through that year. He survived being blown up in 1916 and was sent to No 5 Convalescent Depot, then home to recover and finally he was medically discharged in August 1916 aged 21. Makes you think doesn't it?
He went on to become my grandfather, a lovely man, very fondly remembered. He ate a fry up every day, smoked anything he could put in his pipe and made his own beer and wine and enjoyed drinking it too. Pneumonia finally claimed him in 1977 at the age of 82. I've just been reading through his service papers today on the 100th anniversary of the armistice.
Here's to you Grandad! Having a beer in your memory.

He lay wounded on the battlefield for 6 days, near the German cannons before being taken prisoner on 29th of August 1914. He had been fighting for less than 3 weeks. He had become deaf due to the immense noise and, despite an operation in Switzerland while a prisoner, his hearing deteriorated and he was discharged in 1918, after his release as a POW, he had been held for 3 years.
He applied (and failed) in his appeal for a pension based on his hearing disability. His case was dismissed on the grounds that his condition was aggravated by, not attributable to, the war. From then on, he could only perform a basic job as a glass packer in a warehouse. He died in 1971 aged 78.
