Thursday, June 15 1944, Kenneth Taylor's War Diary:
Morning's rest. Stacked up to move in afternoon. Went as far as Folliot without incident. This village bombed and shelled to hell.
Spent evening talking to 2 men and a woman of the Resistance. Grand people, who have no resentment of their village being
destroyed. Watched Thunderbolts divebombing. People said all France behind us - slight exaggeration. Went to bed early.

I hope our followers in the UK can attend the funeral of Frederick Leach to honor this great man.

Without any family living near him, it’s feared the funeral of Former Green Howard Frederick Leach will be unattended unless relatives can be found
