Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find the service record/regiment of Harold Leslie who was head teacher at Hunmanby School, Filey East Yorkshire.

He was a student at St Johns College, York (1895-97) and then taught in the Oulton area.

He is remembered on the College Roll of Honour and the Hunmanby War Memorial.

He may have died in 1920 in the Leeds area.

Thank you for any help.

I live in Hunmanby.  On the memorial it has him serving in the RFA. There is a possibility that his rank was Gan Signl and regimental number is 233227

His death would probably have been reported in the local press - might be worth looking at.
