Cpl. Leonard Walter Louden 3/5th Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers Leonard Louden volunteered to serve in January 1916 at Mansion House. After a short time with the Essex Regiment, he transferred to the 3/5th Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers. He trained in Goojerat Barracks, Chelmsford where he rose to Lance Corporal.
The Battalion was sent out to France in March 1917 and took over a stretch of the front line in Givenchy, near Festubert where they had a relatively uneventful time. Lance Corporal Louden was promoted to Corporal.
In July the 3/5th were moved to Nieuwpoort on the Belgian coast where Operation Hush, a major advance was planned, but events conspired to make the attack impossible to launch. However on 28th September, Lance Sergeant Louden was wounded, probably by an exploding shell.
After an operation at No.36 CCS in Zuydecoote, when he was well enough to travel, he went to Lidwells Auxiliary Hospital in Kent to recuperate.
He was never fit enough to return to the front and left the Army in 1918.
