Leonard Smith is one of seven Stoke, Nelson, NZ men killed in World War 1 on 12th April 1917. Their names appear on the Stoke Memorial. Leonard Francis Smith was the son of William and Fanny (née Mytton)Smith. He was born on on 10th October 1882 in Stoke. He is buried at the Aubigny Communal Cemetery Extension, Pas de Calais, France.

All seven men are to be honoured in a photographic and memorabilia display at Isel House, Stoke, in October 2014.
