Compton Family Line
My Great Uncle.
Percy was born in Yorkshire, England, the son of Charles Compton and Susannah Winter. When WWI broke out, Percy joined the Army in England. During that time, he lost 2 brothers - Charles Duncan Compton and Harold Compton.

He then married to Constance Hood, and when his parents and sister moved across to BC, they came as well. Percy taught prisoners how to make shoes Oakalla Prison, Burnaby, BC.
