After Trench 46 had been vacated by our troops, consequent on a gas attack, Private Warner entered it single-handed in order to prevent the enemy taking possession. Reinforcements were sent to Private Warner, but could not reach him owing to the gas.

This very gallant soldier died shortly afterwards from the effects of gas poisoning.

Lt. Leslie William Roy Warner

Australian Imperial Force B Company 34th Btn.

from:Annandale, New South Wales

(d.8th Jun 1917)

Leslie Warner was my Great Uncle. He left school at the age of 14 and a half and was employed by Messrs Fairfax and Roberts, a leading jewellers, in Sydney, where he made rapid progress and possessing marked ability in art, he became valuable as a jewellery designer. Being a keen military enthusiast, at the age of 18 he had attained his 1st lieutenancy in the Militia forces and it was just at this time that war broke out; but his parents would not consent to his enlisting, he being too young. However, the call was too strong, and at the age of 20 1/2 years, after having acted as drill instructor for three months, he resigned his commission and enlisted as a private with his men, who sailed from Australia in May 1916. They naturally admired him on this account. His good services were quickly recognised, and shortly after his arrival in England he was granted a commission. When the battalion moved across to France, he was chosen as scout officer, and did good work in this capacity, gaining the entire confidence of the men under his command by his pluck and brave deeds. he resigned his position to take part in the battle of Messines, where he was mortally wounded shortly after the hop-over on 7 June 1917, and died on the 8th. His parents never got over his death

He had sustained injuries to his foot from shrapnel and his leg was amputated after the war just below the knee.

He worked as a writer at the local dockyard. Because of his knowledge of dressing wounds many people came to him for advise about cuts, wounds and splinters. He was a much loved father and grandfather, he had one daughter and four sons, 13 grandchildren and died in the 1960s. He enjoyed a pint and I can remember him cocking his leg over the fence to save walking up the steps to his flat when he returned home from a local pub.
