My grandfather found out many years later that Lenny was buried in grave [row] 62, the same house door number as my grandfather Albert Rider lived most his life. For my Grandad to lose his elder brother was very hard, both men over 6 feet tall and dockers from Barking, East London. Lenny first joined the Royal Navy and then transferred into 46RM Commando.
