Percy John Bice (21 September 1915 – 24 November 1985) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1] Percy was married and lived in South Australia when he enlisted in the army on 16 April 1941. He worked as a representative for the Shell Oil Company of Australia. His trade group in the army was Ordnance Stores. He served overseas in New Guinea from 8 March 1943 to 29 November 1943. His continuous fulltime war service was from 30 April 1941 to 2 October 1945.[2] While undergoing military training, Bice had signed with South Melbourne, but he was cleared to join the Tigers, and went into the senior squad for his debut without playing a Reserves, U19s, or even a practice match with the club.[3] Bice's VFL career ended after only 6 games when he was transferred with his military unit.[3] Notes
