De Botte

Hello Mary 70 and Garstonite.
Thank you very much for this information. I really appreciate this.
I would very much like you Mary to send me the picture. If possible under a large resolution? (300 dpi if possible). Can I use it in my future book? In fact, I am interested in everything that has to do with Leo. I did not know that Leo had singing talents. I thought his sister had traveled to the US to pursue a career as a singer. Mary 70, I'll give you my email address via PM. Many thanks again. With best regards.

Hello, My aunt, Margaret Froelich was engaged to marry Leo De Botte.  He was shot down and killed 3 weeks before the wedding was to take place.  They all lived at Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. Leo was a singer, I think opera and he made records that my aunt kept all of her life. I have a photo of my mother's wedding with Leo in it if you would like it

He was my fathers cousin and I would very much like to see a picture of him. We have visited his grave a couple of times at the cemetery in Kaggevine.
