CRICH MAN WOUNDED
Mr and Mrs Charles Perry, Market Place Crich, have received a field service postcard from their son Lance Corporal Maurice Perry (Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry) stating that he had been wounded and was in hospital. He has been in France for the last two years and has been in almost all the big battles. He has two other brothers in the Army, vis. Gunner Arthur Perry (R.F.A.) and Private Henry Perry (Sherwoods). The two latter have also been wounded. The three brothers joined immediately the war broke out.
