Pte. Percival Kinghorn Kindell
British Army 14th (London Scottish) Btn. London Regiment
My grandfather Percival Kinghorn Kindell served as a private in the 1st London Scottish in World War 1 and was wounded at Le Sars, France on 5th of October 1916. He was repatriated to England and during his recovery in the 2nd Northern General Hospital in Leeds he completed an embroidered picture which appears to be dedicated to the St John's Voluntary Aid Detachment. The inscription on the back of the embroidered picture states that `on the 2nd anniversary of the above hospital, this picture was put up for auction and sold for 8 pounds 15 shillings being sold and re-sold and finally returned to the worker'. The picture has been in my possession for some time now and is a very precious memento of my family’s history.
