== Early life ==
Percy Hurd was the son of London-based solicitor William Hurd (1831–1913) and his wife Elizabeth (''née'' Angier, died 1910).〔
He was editor of ''The Outlook'', a weekly magazine published in London from 1898 to 1928.〔 He later became editor of the ''Canadian Gazette'' and London editor of the ''Montreal Star'' and other journals in Canada. During the First World War, he made various visits to the battle-front to study and record the work of the Canadian contingent. He was also a member of the executive committee of the Agricultural Relief of Allies Fund, and twice reported on the needs of the farmers in the provinces of France from which the Germans had been pushed back.
Hurd was a fervent advocate of the British Empire, and wrote several books on the subject, including one written jointly with his brother Archibald (later Sir Archibald), a naval critic who was editor of the ''Naval and Military Record'' from 1896–1899 and then a journalist with the ''Daily Telegraph'' until 1928.〔〕
