Notes
The Roll lists his address as Midgate. It records him as Private Herbert Leonard Lewis, and that he was killed in action on 10/7/1917, all of which differs from official records.
(Although his birth was registered in the Oundle District in 1894 as "Herbert Leonard Lewis", he enlisted in the Army as "Leonard Herbert Lewis". All his Army documents are therefore under that name. CWGC records that Lance Corporal Leonard Herbert Lewis, regimental number P/10647, died aged 23 on 11/7/1917 serving in the Military Mounted Police, posted to the 1st Division of the Military Police Corps, and is buried in grave I.I.29 at Coxyde Military Cemetery in Belgium. They record him as the son of Henry and Miriam Lewis of Midgate, Peterborough. Soldiers Died in the Great War records him as Leonard Lewis, a native of Northampton who was living in Wansford when he enlisted at Uckfield, and that prior to joining the Military Police he had served in the Army Service Corps under regimental number 1160. The Army service file of "Leonard Herbert Lewis" records that he was attested on 9/12/1914 as a Private in the Army Service Corps, and became Acting Lance Corporal on 13/1/1915. He went to France on 15/1/1915. He became Acting Sergeant (unpaid) in April 1916. On 5/5/1917 he reverted to Private upon his transfer to the Military Police, but was immediately appointed Acting Lance Corporal. He died of wounds at 91st Field Ambulance at Ocean La Panne in Belgium. His parents' address was recorded on the service file as Laurel House, Dicken's Street, Peterborough in 1917; they had moved to Midgate by 31/3/1919).
