Pte. Leonard Chadderton
British Army Royal Army Service Corps
from:Ashton Road, Oldham
My grandfather, Leonard Chadderton, hardly ever talked about his time spent during WW1. He did say that he had to break in horses for use by the cavalry. As the family had delivery horses prior to the war he was used to dealing with them. Another story was that in the desert they were playing leapfrog when the whole of the skin on the back of one service man was completely stripped off by another man jumping over him.
His brother Burton Chadderton died in action on the 8th March 1918.
