Lee Steere Family
« on: Friday 22 February 08 10:44 GMT (UK) »

I am researching the names in the Zillebeke Churchyard (Nr. Ypres, Belgium). Lieutenant  John Henry Gordon Lee-Steere is buried there. I know he was the only son of of his family who hailed from Ockley. (names of parents unknown). any info about his family would be greatly appreciated.

There is another Lee-Steere who was killed in the Second World War. Charles Augustus Lee-Steere, shot down on 27th May 1940 and buried quite close to the other Lee-Steere in Belgium. He too hailed from Ockley.

He must be of the same family ....any help with this would be wonderful.
