Hi Folks,

I have been researching the military service of my grandfather (200207 Lance
Corporal Fred APPLETON, 4th Yorkshire Regiment) for a couple of years now.
Through some friends at my local Photographic Society, I have been asked to
talk to Year 9 pupils at Huntcliff School, Saltburn and put a more personal
and local slant on their studies of World War 1. The History teacher has got
the kids to compile a list of questions, most of which I can answer. But one
in particular has me stumped.

How often would my grandfather have been given leave?

I have no idea how much leave a soldier got. Can anyone offer me any advice,
please?

regards,

Peter Appleton
