Attestation papers signed 4 Nov 1915 in London, Ontario. Percy William Vanner states he was born in Paris, France, his current address is in Seaforth, Ontario and he was born 21 Jan 1896. His Next of Kin was his mother, Ellen Vanner of 19 Berry STreet, London, England. His occupation was listed as Farmer. 5'7" in height with brown eyes and black hair. Religion is listed as Church of England.

I strongly believe that Percy misinformed the record for his military entry, as he was born in 1898 in London, England.

Commonwealth War Graves Registers states Percy was Killed in Action. His Next of Kin, Mrs. Windle (Sister) of 65 ... Southwark Bridge, ... London, England has written over it 'Removed address unknown'. Percy is buried in Crucifix Corner Cemetery, Villers Bretonneux, Somme, Picardie, France. Plot: I. B. 2.
Written in the UK Index: VANNER, Pte. P.W., 124407. 18th Bn. Canadian Inf. (Western Ontario Regt.). 8th Aug., 1918. I. B. 2.
