Roland Leighton, Lieutenant in the Worcestershire Regiment

[Guest]

Remembering Roland Aubrey Leighton, a lieutenant in the Worcestershire Regiment, who died of a gunshot wound in Louvencourt, France on December 23, 1915, age twenty. 
 

Below is a poem he wrote earlier in that year, after seeing the body of a half-buried British soldier in Plugstreet Wood during his time in the trenches of Belgium.
