Adam Llewellyn Posted 12 November , 2014 Share Posted 12 November , 2014 The date of entry may suggest he could have been attached to the 1/5th Leicesters, was he a Leicester lad? Regards. Llew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Leicester born and lived here till he died in 1985. I think he was attached via the RAMC to the 46th North Midland Division so i suspect the 1/5th Leicesters were in that division too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
