Percy Dodd

Percy William Dodd (1889 – 20 May 1931) was a British classicist who taught at the Universities of Leeds and Oxford.

He obtained a second-class degree in Literae Humaniores in 1911 and became a lecturer in classics at the University of Leeds.

During World War I, Dodd was a captain in the West Yorkshire Regiment and served in France.

His war service, however, affected his health and he suffered from frequent bouts of illness thereafter.

[2] He was described by the Scottish classical scholar Alexander Souter as an "enthusiastic investigator" of Roman Britain, whose published report of excavations in Yorkshire were "a model of their kind".
