Samuel was killed whilst his bn where in trenches at Monchy-Hebuterne. Lieutenant Hildick-Smith wrote to the family concerning his death: “On the morning of February 28 about 10.30am the enemy commenced firing trench mortars on Percy’s company’s front, burying an officer and a Sergeant. Percy immediately commenced to dig them out and whilst doing this another mortar burst very close, fatally wounding him. This is the second time Percy has dug men out under fire. The previous time was when a dug out was blown up by the enemy fire burying several men.” for Graeme Clarke and the people of Walsall
