Percifal John Tibbels was born in 1890 as son of John and Florence Tibbels in Kensington, where he also lived. In the Great War P.J. Tibbels served as a Rifleman with service number 2478 in the 6th (County of London) Battalion of the Queens Westminster Rifles Regiment.
On the 17th October, the Battalion went into dugouts on the canal bank, north of Ypres, leaving one Company forward in the Potijze defences; and on the 20th, it relieved the West Yorkshire Regiment in the trenches near Wieltje.
The only event of any importance on this tour was a useful piece of patrolling and a clash with a German Working party on the night of the 22 October, 1915.
It is known that Rfn. Tibbles was killed as a result of a shell exploding on the parapet of the trench, the fragments of which fatally wounded him.
