Kingston Grammar School's Roll of Honour on which the name of "L B C Kemball" appears
Private Leonard Benjamin Charles Kemball (42585) of the 4th Battalion of the Prince of Wales (North Staffordshire Regiment) died of his wounds on 28 September 1918 aged just 19 and is buried at the Belgian Battery Corner Cemetery. The Cemetery was largely used for burials from a dressing station in a nearby cottage so perhaps Private Kemball was treated there.
