Percival Phillips was born in 1877. He began writing for newspapers
at the age of sixteen with articles about coal miners rioting in
Southwestern Pennsylvania. At the age of nineteen he began pursuing
a dream of being a war correspondent with coverage of the
Greco-Turkish war and later the war in Cuba. He next moved to
London, England and worked for the Daily Express covering wars in
Japan and Russia, Tripoli and the Balkans. Although an American the
British government selected him to be one of five correspondents to
cover the British portion of the Western Front during the World War
I, as well as to cover the troubles in Ireland. After the war he
was knighted by King George for these services. He next moved to
the Daily Mail where he continued covering conflicts in Russia,
China, and India, as well as problems in Iraq, the rise of
Mussolini in Italy and Gandhi's activities in India. In 1935 he
joined the Daily Telegraph and later covered a revolution in Greece
and the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. His final war was the Spanish
Civil War during which he died in 1937.
