221135 Leonard Frederick Higgins British Amry from:Withington My father Leonard Higgins was shot and left as dead in France I believe. He had a bullet wound enter his left side and come out in his lower back on the right side. He was nursed and ended up in a prison of war camp. I have a letter from the King stating he had died in action. I vividly remember the wounds and his stories of the trenches. Unfortunately, there was a pen and ink drawing of bunks and living quarters... I don't know if they were from the POW camp or the trenches. He would have been so proud to know that his son (my brother) was awarded the MBE for services whilst in the Manchester Territorial unit at Belle Vue. I would love to find out more.
