Cpl. Leonard Clark
British Army 2nd Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers
from:Colne, Lancashire
(d.21st May 1942)
The only the information about Leonard Clark was told to me by my granny Ethel (Leonard's wife). I remember asking as a small child where grandad was. My granny answered he was run over by a tank in the war and that was it.
I know his name is on the War Memorial in the town. My dad told me to go and look, so I did and found his name. He has always been a mystery, so now in 2016 I have decided to see if I can learn his story.
All his family are no longer with us. I became a NAAFI girl and was an Army wife for over 21 years, I think I owe it to his memory to find out as much about his life, also where he is buried. Also what happened to him. Back then, asking my gran where he was, I remember (even though I was young) her tone and manner and I knew not to ask again. So it became a subject not to be spoken about, back in my day that was it.
