You may need to look at the 1921 census & find out
where his father was living.
As his NOK he would have had the responsibility of arranging
his burial.

So sad,  a day after his arrival at his new unit, recorded as being killed in an aircraft accident during experimental flying for the Director of Research. His aircraft collided with another in mid air.

Probate was to his father Arthur Samuel Herbert - 11 September 1919

There was an Edmonton marriage of a Leonard A Herbert to Eva Hawkes - December 1918 -
This gentleman was Leonard Allen Herbert so one to discount.
