254648 Pte. Percy Reginald Everitt British Army 9th Btn. Norfolk Regiment from:Hilgay, Norfolk (d.12th Oct 1915) Percy Everitt was engaged to my Nana, Louise Procter, when he went to war. I believe they were 2nd cousins. He was wounded in the battle at Loos on 10th of October 1915 and died 2 days later on 12th October. He was 24 at the time and Nana was 22. When she died I found the engagement ring he gave her and a bookmark with a poem on it from Nana which read: "How little we thought when we said goodbye We parted for ever, and you were to die; Oh the grief that we feel words cannot tell We could not be with you to say farewell. Louise Accrington." It was 8 years before she married my Papa and they were very happy but she took a long while to get over Percy's death.
