Pte. Leonard P. Smith
British Army 10th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:Fulham
(d.23rd Aug 1917)
Leonard Smith was my great grandfather. My mother and I have been researching him and his story. He was a Private in the Durham Light Infantry 10th battalion. He died in the 3rd Battle of Ypres on 23rd of August 1917.
I have a picture of my great grandfather. My great grandmother gave birth to my nan in May 1917 but unfortunately Leonard was already deployed when my nan was born and he died on 23rd August 1917, so never made it home to see his daughter (my nan).
Leonard's name is on the Tyne Cot Memorial.
