22220 Percy Wood, West Yorks Regt

[Pighills]

I have two Percy Woods in my records, both having died in 1917. One I have been able to find in the CWGC, the other - 22220 Percy Wood, West Yorkshire Regt KIA 11 February 1917 I cannot. He has articles in the local newspaper regarding his death.

Firstly, can someone do a double check for me on CWGC(even though I've checked it about 5 times)and secondly, is anyone already searching for him as a non-com?

He is listed on SDGC as follows:

Name: Percy Wood

Birth Place: Harrogate, Yorks

Death Date: 11 Feb 1917

Death Location: France & Flanders

Enlistment Location: York

Rank: Private

Regiment: Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment)

Type of Casualty: Died of wounds

and his MIC shows his death also:

Ken

ok we crossed - interesting entry in Geoff though as he's listed twice

[Pighills]

Thank you too Ken, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

No problem.

The second listing for Percy Wood comes up as a blank page. Bit of an odd one that and the first I've seen on CWGC. I expect it's because of the re-ordering they did some time ago:
