206271 Cpl. Leslie Ball British Army Royal Army Service Corps from:Croydon My grandfather Leslie Ball fought in many places and I know very little about his life during the war period. Since my grandmother destroyed all of his papers, cards, medals etc. I would be interested in hearing from anyone, who may have known him. I know he fought in the two Battles of El Alamein and later went to Normandy. At some point he assisted in the attack on Italy and battled on a hill near a small village. He later was part of the liberation of Belsen Concentration camp. After the war he lived in Croydon and was a father to two children, my father and his brother.
