And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20

Lance Corporal Percy Eustace Penfold was killed in action on 7 October 1916, his brother Lance Corporal Herbert Penfold having been killed on 13 October 1915. In the intervening year it appears that their father also died. Herbert's body was never recovered so he has no headstone and therefore no memorial inscription.
