In just nine short months, Percy served in the 2nd Battle of the Somme, 3rd Battle of Aisne, Battle of Le Hamel, 2nd Battle of the Marne, Battle of Amiens, and the 2nd Battle of Arras. Pte.

Initially he was reported Missing in Action and his family received 3 brief telegrams with that status between September 21st and October 5th, 1918.
