217515 Arthur Pickering British Army Leicestershire Regiment from:Leicester My great grandfather Arthur Pickering served in the Leicester Tigers Regiment and was killed in the First World War. My Grandmother remembered him saying goodbye and leaving her in the house with her siblings when she was about 5 years old and going off to war. She never saw him again. Although I can trace him up to the 1911 census there is no trace of him to be found after this as unfortunately his records were among those destroyed during the Second World War. He left behind a wife and five children. I do not even have a photograph of him. I can only imagine the sadness and heartbreak for many who lost loved ones during this terrible conflict.
