Re: Pte 17195 Francis VALENTINE. Died 23/03/18

Amazingly I found on the Internet the other day a photograph of one of the houses where Francis and his family actually lived! On the same site there was also a photograph of his mothers shop. It would appear the family remained in Leeds. I believe with the Valentine's ice cream company running till...
