  • Leonard Scragg was my father and when he was alive he did not tells his children he was a first world war veteran he passed away in 1957 he married after the war to Irene Rossiter and produced 5 children. I am feel very honored to have recently found out that my father fought in the First World. We know that his ashes were scattered but we don't know where. I now thank all the soldiers who left families and fought in this terrible war I have read many books written about this war. Thanks Dad RIP also to your brothers that went with you. Your loving daughter Averille
