Pte. Leonard Ryder

British Army 1st Btn. Hampshire Regiment

from:Meonstoke, Hampshire

(d.3rd Nov 1914)

At the age of 73 years, I have recently discovered that I had an Uncle Leonard Ryder who served in WW1. I know nothing remarkable about him except that he was sent to France in August 1914 and died of wounds on 3rd November 1914. He was the eldest of a poor family of seven children. He was 17 years old. What makes it remarkable for me is how this knowledge has so strongly brought home the reality of this War and the sacrifice made by so many thousands of young boys and men.
