We have been unable to find out very much about this NCO which is rather dissapointing. If<br />
you can help us by providing additional information about him or indeed any other man listed<br />
here, please get in touch with us at ashfordfallen@hotmail.co.uk Thanks.<br />
Leon served in the army as L DUNGIN. This is the name that appears on his headstone in the<br />
<strong>Wye</strong> churchyard.<br />
Leon was in fact a Belgium national who volunteered for service in the British army upon the<br />
outbreak of war.<br />
His name does not appear on any local civic tribute which is disappointing bearing in mind he<br />
resided in <strong>Wye</strong> when killed.
