262840 Cpl. Percival William Steers Britiah Army 7th Btn. Royal West Kent Regiment from:Hastings, Sussex. Percival Steers born 20th March 1894, was my grandfather. He joined up on 14th of September 1914 along with his older brother by 7 years Samuel John (Jack) Steers and, as far as I can ascertain, friends from Hastings, as there is a one number gap between my grandfather's and his brother's service number. Both brothers were accomplished horsemen and originally joined the yeomanry. Both also became instructors at Colchester before, joining the action with the 18th Division, in March 1918. My grandfather was wounded by a gunshot to the face on 27th of August 1918 at Trones Wood, his brother Jack, died in the influenza epidemic on 26th November 1918 and is commemorated at St. Sever Cemetery Ext. at Le Grand-Quevilly.
