Frederick Leybourne
British Army 6th Btn. York and Lancaster Regiment
Freddy Leybourne, my father traveled to Tunisia in early 1943 with the 6th Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment as part of the 46th Infantry Division. After many engagements and the fall of Tunis, they went on to become part of Operation Avalanche, the landings at Salerno. Fighting with 46th Infantry Division now as part of the 5th US Army they fought on up through Italy until the end of the war. There are many gaps in the record which I am in the process of putting together but I have more research to do.
