And one more to remember.....

There is a fourth young Chatteris man I would like to remember here. Lieut. Percival Angood RFC had been killed the previous year, in a flying accident. Unlike Cyril, he was not 'remembered to me', in my boyhood, and yet it now seems very likely that he and Alg (and possibly Cyril) would have known each other, and perhaps had a more specific relationship, either as friends, or possibly as rivals. Percy and Alg both went to March Grammar School, both their fathers were ironmongers on Chatteris High Street, and both of them worked in their father's businesses before joining up. They were both, also, Methodists, and organists.
