Percy Harold Harwood was born on 26th Sept 1895 in Liverpool. His baptism record (below) shows he was baptised on 13th October in the church of St Michael. His parents Alfred, a clerk, and Charlotte lived at 19 Parliament Place.

There is a slight discrepncy in that he was listed as a private here but rifleman on his medal card and on his CWGC entry. He was in the 6th Battalion of The King's (Liverpool Regiment) at the time of his death so rifleman is correct.
