Sidney Lee was my great uncle, the brother of my paternal grandfather. He was one of four brothers who served and one of three that fell. Brother Harold fell at the Battle for Loos and Leslie was wounded in France and died and is buried at Bristol. My grandfather had emigrated to Canada in 1913 and served as an engineer in the Canadian expeditionary force 7th Brigade 3rd Division. He was awarded the MM for action during the Battle for Vimy Ridge 9th of April 1917 and the bar to the MM for action 8th of August 1918 at the Battle of Amiens during the last 100 days.
