Private Cyril Horsfall Leedam
79835 Royal Army Medical Corps
61st General Hospital
Lived at 41 Ormerod Road

I am pleased to send you a photo of my grandfather Cyril Horsfall Leedam Private 79835 in the RAMC (born
1/5/1894 died 17/11/1983). He served in Malta and Salonica. When he returned after the war he opened his own Chemist Shop in Nelson.
The 2nd photo is of my great grandmother with 4 of her 5 sons (Cyril is far right). Harold Edgar Leedam Private S2/12775 (b. 1890 d 1951), Army Service Corps must be one of them but sadly there is nobody left to identify them. Both Cyril and Harold have medal cards but they are the only 2 sons whose records I can trace.

This is the 1911 census - copied/pasted as is - you will notice that now Cyril has 2 'L''s!
