Subject:		1914-18 Named Officer Query
Name:		David H. Hiley

Email:		sixthga@cox.net
Message:		I have just acquired a WWI Sam Bowne belt/double shoulder strap rig with the owners name stenciled on the inside of the belt: "E.A. Leybourne, 8th DLI." There's other info as well but too faint to make out -- looks like it might be an address in Durham. I'm searching the web for info on this officer but have not come up with anything. Can anyone help? Thanks.
