2nd Lt. Sydney Leonard Spalding
British Army 200th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:
Not too much known at this point,but definitely was in action in the Loos area between January and April 1917 possibly in support of 16th Infantry Brigade.
Obviously went on to Egypt, when I do not know but I do have a photo of the guns in action there though this may have been practice. He came back to work at his family's firm of Spalding & Hodge but could not settle down and left under a cloud. Lived in London & Cambridge and died in 1962.
