Title: Percy Richard Thomas - Royal Field Artillery - Burial place?
Post by: StuartPrice on Sunday 17 November 24 21:30 GMT (UK)

Hi,

I am seeking help in trying to find the burial site of Percy Richard Thomas, Royal Field Artillery, regimental number 19760. He was born on the 26 Jan 1897 and Died 11 Feb 1917, aged 20.   
His home address was 17 Park St, Cwmcarn, Monmouthshire. His parents were Richard & Annie Thomas. He was a Congregationalist. It is likely he died whilst at home. I have the usual sources e.g. Findagrave, Billiongraves and Ancestry but without any success. If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

regards,
Stuart Price

Might be worth trying the Bereavement Services of the local authority; his death was registered in Newport district

Hi

See if he is buried with his parents or have a look at the local paper.

There is nothing in the 1917 welsh newspapers that I can find I am afraid.
