Pte. Leslie Wain
British Army 2nd Btn. Border Regiment
from:Lancashire
(d.3rd Feb 1945)
My great uncle, Pte. Leslie Wain, was killed, aged 28, by a Japanese sniper on 3rd February 1945. We knew he had been killed in Burma, but until last week we had no idea where he was buried. Now we do, in the war cemetery in Yangan (Rangoon).
My mum, his niece, remembers him with great affection, but unfortunately has no photo of him, nor do any of the surviving family. My mum is 86 this year and the best present she could have would be a photo of him or his regiment so she can pick him out.
