millroadcemetery.org.uk.  With the heading: Kate Fielding, Margaret Ellan Fielding, Percival Fielding.

This is he and his two wives buried together. You will find details about him and his two wives, one a soldier's daughter.
A picture of the gravestone can also be seen.

Percival also had a son in the military who received an M.V.O in the Birthday Honours list 1944.

I have not the facilities to upload and post. Perhaps someone can do the honours.
