title: Leonard Jackson 54993 Family Portraits (3)

description: My Grandfather Leonard Jackson of Millbridge near Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, was killed on the 
26th of September 1917, aged 28, at Passchendaele, Belgium. There is no grave as he was blown to 
pieces by a shell. His name is on the Tyne Cot memorial near Ypres.

He enlisted in June 1916, joining the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as he was working in Wales at the time.
He was wounded in the leg in April 1917, but was sent back to the front after treatment.

He left behind a widow, Minnie, and three little girls; Ruby aged 2, Constance aged 4, and Evelyn
Mavis, my mother, aged 6. Mother always remembered walking into town with him in his uniform
on his last leave, and was very proud of him.

The photographs are as follows

Where are the now those strong and silent men,
Whose young keen faces blur with passing time,
They were at our sides when we left our native shores,
but somehow, in the hell that was to come, they were no more.
And when it was all done and we came home,
To tears, and cheers, and sweetheart loving arms,
They were not there those brave and silent men.
And now our wrinkled tearstained faces turn,
As we move past those scarlet poppy wreaths,
The ones who walk unaided help the lame,
And those who cannot see are guided on,
Where are they now those men forever young.

Where are the now those strong and silent men,
Whose young keen faces blur with passing time,
They were at our sides when we left our native shores,
but somehow, in the hell that was to come, they were no more.
And when it was all done and we came home,
To tears, and cheers, and sweetheart loving arms,

As we move past those scarlet poppy wreaths,
The ones who walk unaided help the lame,
And those who cannot see are guided on,
Where are they now those men forever young.

Pte. T4/212898 William James West, Army Service Corps, (later 51275, 1st Bn. Cheshire Regiment). His T4 Army Service Corps prefix indicates he once served in transport. Here, oddly, he is pictured wearing a 'lamb and flag' cap badge, relevant to neither unit (unless he served for a time in the small Army Service Corps Armoured Car Companies, recruited from transport personnel. Their 'Light Armoured Motor Batteries', operative in Palestine, wore a similar badge unofficially).
