Pte. Percy Smith

British Army 2nd Btn. East Kent Regiment

from:Brenzett, Romney Marsh, Kent

(d.14th May 1917)

Percy Smith was my Great Great Uncle. I didn't know anything about him until I visited St. George's Church in Ivy Church Romney Marsh Kent and saw a Percy Smith on the memorial in the church. I also saw his name in the remembrance book in Canterbury Cathedral. I don't remember any of my relatives talking about him. He died when my grandmother Florence Annie Smith was 12 years old. My mother, was his Great Niece.

I did some research and found out the following: He was born in 1889 in Ivy Church and enlisted in Ashford, Kent. He was the son of William and Harriet Marie Smith of George Street, Brenzett. He died on the 14th May 1917 and is buried at Struma Military Cemetery in Greece
