Marconi Connections?

 

 

The owners of the three fine sets of moustaches are left to right,  Messrs George Kemp, Guglielmo Marconi and Percy Wright Paget, pictured posed in front of the kite that was used to keep aloft the receiving aerial wire used in the transatlantic radio experiment at Signal Hill, St. John's, Newfoundland in December, 1901.

I've been trying to find some some information on my name sake without much luck. Very little is recorded about Percy Paget other that he was an employee in November 1898 of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company and that he accompanied Marconi and Kemp on the famous trans Atlantic experiment.

If you can assist with additional information please contact me.
