W. Chambers-Leete

Town Clerk of the Royal Borough of Kensington, 1904 - 1916, at least.

Kensington in the Great War by G. I. S. Inglis tells us that the Chambers Leetes lost their only son Captain W. J. H. Leete of the 11th Lancashire Fusilliers, killed in action on 21 January 1916 (we are not too sure about this date).
