Cpl. William John Leonard

British Army 11th Battalion South Wales Borderers

from:Cilfynydd Pontypridd

(d.2nd February 1917)

William Leonard was my grandmother's brother. The story that my grandmother used to say was that William died of a severe head injury. It must have been sometime later when the family had been notified of Williams’s death. That my grandmother realised that on that particular day she had a severe headache. William also had a brother Thomas Leonard. I have no information for Thomas other than he served in the Welsh Horse regiment and was killed in action in Palestine, it is believed in the family that Thomas had been gassed.
