Gunner Bailey Posted 28 February , 2006 Share Posted 28 February , 2006 I don't know what was the standard allowance but one of my Grandfathers only got 4 weeks of home leave in 4 years in France. It was a big issue and he resented it greatly. Apparently he was always needed. He was in the RE. Gunner Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
