Sergeant Leonard Arthur Sibley
09 Feb 1920 - 21 May 1996
Biography
Leonard and his brother Thomas worked on their father's farm. A W Sibley, their father, had been a butcher in East London and bought the farms cheaply in the 1930s to provide meat for the shops.
On 8 Nov 1941 Leonard was fined £1 in the Magistrates Court for leaving his without imobilising it. Although he had removed the key, the door was left unlocked and he hadn't removed the rotor arm to prevent its use by an enemy, as the law required at the time.
He became the Patrol Sergeant after Ernie Fox around 1943, being promoted ahead of his elder brother.
