Pte. Percy Beal

British Army 2nd Battalion York & Lancaster Regiment

from:Sheffield

(d.9th Aug 1915)

Percy Beal lived in the Park area of Sheffield and joined the Yorks & Lancs shortly before war was declared; probably in anticipation. He died of his wounds on 9th August 1915, during the successful British surprise attack which recaptured "the Crater" and what was left of the chateau at Hooge, two miles east of Ypres. Due to the subsequent shelling of the cemeteries there, his remains are not in a marked grave, though his name is, of course, recorded at the Menin Gate.
