He went to Rome aboard the SS Elmsgarth in 1916 and sent a postcard to his grandfather while at sea. He died in service.

Thomas Percy Vivian Jenkins was born in Cardiff S. Wales. His contributor (Jeremy Stuehmeier) believes him to have been in 14 company 3rd Devonshire, (although this may be a brother, George, who sends a postcard from 14 company 3rd Devonshire in Exeter just after joining up in September 2014). Seems to have been in Egypt some of the time. He served, was wounded and died in Torquay 1918. || panoramic photograph of cavalry soldiers Devons? postcard photograph of TPVJ on horseback postcard photograph of TPVJ in pith helmet postcard photograph cavalry train postcard 'it's got to be done'
