Percival William Icke (SN 2254) born in central Victoria, was a married 29 year old driver when he enlisted in Melbourne on September 12th 1914. Allotted to the Service Corps he embarked aboard the Armadale on October 10th and sailed to Egypt. In April 1915, instead of landing at Gallipoli, he faced civil charges of robbery and was sentenced to 42 days imprisonment with hard labour. He did reach Gallipoli at the time of the August offensive, but his service record continues to be dominated by discipline charges and periods of hospitalisation. He did reach France in June 1916, attached to the 5th Division Train, but he continued to struggle to meet military discipline standards. Following a period of leave in England, a disease saw him hospitalised for 53 days. He was returned to Australia aboard the Port Hacking, disembarked at Melbourne on January 27th 1919 and was discharged ‘medically unfit, trench fever’ on May 13th. He also enlisted to serve during World War 2 with service number V81077.
