247200 Co.Sgt.Mjr. Frederick Caldwell Leeper MM. British Army 13th Btn. Royal Fusiliers from:London (d.16th July 1916) Frederick Leeper was the brother of my mother-in-law, uncle of my husband, and I have inherited the family medals to pass on to my son. Frederick was studying at St Bonniface College, to take Holy Orders, and could have taken a non-combatant role but chose to stay with his men. He died in combat aged 26, and has no known grave. His name is on the Thiepval Memorial, in France. I have his medal for Bravery in the Field, and believe this should have some kind of citation or record to support it, but have been unable to find any details. My mother-in-law had 4 brothers, 3 of whom were killed in WWI. Her husband, my father-in-law was an Old Contemptible and saw action at Ypres.
