Leonard John Yeoman

Higher Town 1927 Ref: 79904
Higher Town 1927
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Leonard John Yeoman (my grandfather) always claimed that he was the young chap carrying the buckets in this photograph. He spent his whole life living around the Malborough/ Hope Cove area. Therefore, it's quite plausible that it is indeed him in this photograph.
He went on to serve in the RAF in Malta, Egypt and Palestine during World War II. From his childhood up until his last few years he was a central member of the local church choir. A real character.

RE: RE: Leonard John Yeoman

Hi Martin, do you know anything about Leonard's brother Percy? Do you know if Percy married a Doris Evans? I am trying to trace some family history and would be grateful for any info.
Thank you
Best wishes
Mary
