Percy Battams 1899-1925
Percy was born in Spratton in October 1899, the son of John Clarke Battams, a shoemaker, and his wife Edith. The family lived in a small house in Middle Turn (now Brixworth Road). Sadly the whole family seems to have died young and Percy's parents had both died before he joined up to serve in the Middlesex Regiment.
Percy remained in England on Home Service for the duration of the war, but died in 1925. Both his brothers were already dead. Unfortunately, very few records remain about Percy's war service.
