11 Battalion Leicestershire Regt WW I
« on: Sunday 14 September 08 12:44 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on the above Battalion, I know part of it was at Brocton Camp Staffs in early 1917 and moved to Newark in October of that year, but I would like to know if it every saw action in France.

My Great Uncle was in this battalion and a family story says he was a medic. Is there anyway to find out if this was true?
