259929 Pte. Lesley Arthur Saunders British Army 4th Btn. Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry from:Foleshill, Coventry (d.25th May 1940) Arthur Saunders was the uncle of my husband whom due to circumstances he never met. We always assumed his name was Arthur but recently found a photograph of him as a young boy, with a transcript of the back stating his name as Lesley Arthur. Due to this, we have just found his records on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. He is buried at Oye-Plage Communal Cemetery in France.
I also noted the following: Service No 5387367. L/Cpl. W. Caswell died 28th of May 1940 from the same regiment, who is also buried at Oye-Plage communal Cemetery. I hope someone finds this information of use in their search.
