Leonard's Story
Was killed during the Battle of the Somme on 11th August 1916. His body was never found.
Inscription on Thiepval Memorial France
He was my Great uncle and his photograph has been handed down the family. He joined up because the wages in the army were better than those being paid in the mines and he had a young growing family to feed.
