He was educated at Kew State School and Camberwell Grammar School.[2] Football careerAbercrombie was a member of Hawthorn’s first ever team in 1902 in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA)[3] and established himself as a leading player, being selected as part of a MJFA representative team.[4] Abercrombie was then promoted to senior ranks, making two appearances for Essendon in the 1903 VFL season. He was reported as promising “to become a fine footballer”[5] and “greatly pleasing the critics”,[6] however failed to secure a regular place in the Essendon team. He continued at Hawthorn, playing 30 games for them[3], and then in 1905 returned to the VFL competition with South Melbourne[7][8] and made 12 appearances for them that year. In 1906 he moved to Western Australia and he became a leading player at South Fremantle.[9] In June 1908 Abercrombie abruptly left for Kalgoorlie, securing a permit[10] and playing out the remainder of the season for the Railways club in the Goldfields League. In 1909 Abercrombie returned to Melbourne, obtaining a permit to play with Carlton but after failing to secure a place in their team instead playing for Brighton in the Victorian Football Association.[11] He only managed three appearances for Brighton before his senior career ended.[12] MarriageOn 6 January 1912 Percy Abercrombie married Elizabeth Adelaide Glenn at her parent’s residence in Albert Park.[13] World War IAbercrombie enlisted to serve in World War I in January 1916[14] and after completing 11 months of training at Royal Park embarked for France on the SS Victoria. In April 1918 at Ville-sur-Ancre Abercrombie rushed a gun, threw a bomb and took 15 prisoners in hand-to-hand combat.[15] For this “conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty” he was awarded the Military Cross in June 1918. He was also Mentioned in Despatches and gained promotion to Lieutenant during his service in France. He returned to Australia in December 1919.[16] World War IIAbercrombie again volunteered to serve his country in World War II at the age of 56 (mis-representing his birth date in order to be eligible to serve). He joined the 6th Training Battalion and served for 9 months, being discharged in March 1941.[17] Percy Abercrombie died in Heidelberg at the age of 80 in May 1964.
