234850 L/Sgt. Percy Marshall Spice British Army 1st Btn. The Buffs (East Kent) Regiment from:Dublin, Ireland (d.5th March 1916) Percy Marshall Spice was married to Emma Florence Cooper Spice and they lived in 3, Charlemont Row, Harcourt Rd., Dublin. He was wounded in France and Emma went out to see him, as she came home there was a telegraph waiting saying he had died of his wounds. She never married again! I would think that Percy was stationed in Ireland before the war and this is how they met. I heard family stories of how he would collect to go dancing in a posh car. They were in love and her loss lived with her all her life. I have tried to find out where the 1st Battalion was on the days before he died. He died three days after he was wounded, so he was wounded on 2nd March 1916. I really don't have any more information and would be so grateful for any information you can offer me on the areas the 1st Battalion served during the war.
