Leonard John Lintern
British Army Royal Army Ordnance Corps
from:Norwich
Leonard Lintern was my beloved grandfather who refused to talk about his wartime experiences so I would love to know if anyone has more info. He did tell one story about waking up in the night needing a pee, plodding off to the latrines, hearing gunshots in the dark and ducking down in the ditch. When he got back to the remains of his tent there were bullet holes in his 'pillow' and two of his comrades were no longer alive. That would have been two of those in the 'before' picture whose signatures can be seen. His unit was on the retreat in France, coming off at Dunkirk and the bigwigs shipped the unit back to Bristol to rebuild and recover.
