Leo Jude was born in c.1897 and was the eldest of two sons to Simon and Kathleen Jude. Simon was an accountant and Kathleen was his second wife. Their family home was in Lockerby Road, West Derby and Leo went to Rossall Boarding School at Fleetwood in Liverpool.
Leo signed up and joined the 10th Battalion of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. The Battalion was formed in 1914 as part of the 22nd Division. They trained on the South Downs and at Eastbourne in 1915, and then moved to Salisbury Plain for further training. After training the Battalion were attached to the 112th Brigade in 37th Division.
They landed at Boulogne on 1 August 1915 and headed to the Somme. They were involved in the Battle of Ancre which lasted from the 13 – 18th November 1916. The conditions were atrocious with thick mud, poor visibility and fog. On 14 November the 37th relieved the 63rd Division capturing German positions on the 15th. The Loyal North Lancashire lost 11 men in the manoeuvre who are now buried at Frankfurt Trench Cemetery. On the 18 November the 37th made advances and secured Sarre but with a high price to pay. It was during the advance that Leo lost his life along with many of the men he was commanding at the time. The Canadian Divisions of the 19th, 18th and 4th also suffered heavy casualties. What makes this so saddening is that the battle is recorded to have not met its objectives and the advance was called off on the 19th November.

Pte. Frederick Jukes
British Army 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Springhill/Ladywood - Birmingham
My great grandad, Frederick Jukes, Private 177 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He was a regular soldier from September 1904 before the 1st World War seeing service mainly in India.
When the war broke out he had by now re-enlisted in the August 1914 & was part of 4th Division 10th Infantry Brigade. In May (3rd) 1915 whilst on the Ypres Salient Shell Trap Farm he was gassed. Original papers show the time/date my family were informed of his injury & the hospitals he stayed at both in France/UK. From these papers it shows that he, in fact, returned to France only to be medically discharged the following year in Nov 1916. The family have now photos of him in uniform which I have always wanted. I am a retired Policeman & like my great grandad I had to retire following serious injury. Strange as it is, his war badge No. is 466928....my warrant number was similar....4628. Grandad lived to a good age but always suffered with his chest. What he must have seen in those trenches stayed with him all his life. He never discussed the war except his service in India. What I experienced in 26 years of policing he & many others who served in both wars must have seen on a daily basis. I dedicate this narrative to my grandad who served his country/colours with pride, honour & respect. I also pay tribute/thought to all others who have served & given so much that we can have our today. I also include those Police officers who have given so much in serving/protecting their communities.
