Pte. Percy Howard
British Army 1/5th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment
My great-uncle, Private Percy Howard, was the eldest brother of my grandmother, Hilda. In 1911, at age 18 he was working in the family's greengrocer business, in Batley, Yorkshire. I believe he was killed near Pozieres, Somme, on 3 September 1916, and his sacrifice is remembered at the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme.
