Cpl. Leonard Melandri

British Army 11 Battalion, B Coy, 5 Pl. Welsh Regiment

from:Penarth

Uncle Leonard enlisted with his brother Vincent. They served in Greece, France and Belgium. Leonard was severely wounded in the leg and received a disability pension after the war. I remember that he said his wound was packed with sulphur and strapped up so he could still keep fighting. He was unable to bend his leg for as long as we knew him. He married Clarice after the war but they were never able to have any children perhaps that is why they spoiled my brother and I as children.
