Tales from the Front (27) recounts the life of Percy Lockyer, a native of Victorian Bournemouth, who fought in World War I. Before the war, he had worked as a stationer’s assistant, living in Ringwood during 1911. He had enlisted with the 6th Battalion, Hampshire Regiment, but later changed to the 3rd Battalion, City of London Regiment. On March 10th, Private Lockyer participated in the first day of the Battle of Neuve Chapelle, perhaps falling in the evening.
