Henry Leonard Rootes

Details

BiographyHis mother was Ada Rootes at the time of his birth, and apparently unmarried. Ethel Eliza Rootes (wife of Arthur Rootes who also died in the war) was originally listed as next of kin in his service record. There is obviously some relationship between the two families, but exactly what is unclear. Last edited by: Neil Chippendale
