This information is extracted from a book complied by the Leek Sailors & Soldiers Comforts Society
 - November 1915 -
The book is a record of the 1550 Sailors and Soldiers from Leek and District who were serving their King and Country - as a slight recognition of their services.
(Please note, it is a record of those who were serving, not a record of those who fell).
This information may prove useful if you are trying to find out about military service. I have this little book in my possession so if you would like me to check for any other surname, please email me.
