About Dr. Captain Malcolm Leckie, DSO,MiD,RAMC
From http://www.powell76.talktalk.net/CaptainMalcolmLeckieDSO.htm
Malcolm Leckie had been born on the 18th April 1880 at Eltham, Kent, the son of James Blythe Leckie, a wealthy businessman and his wife Selina. The family claimed its descent from the Leckie of the Barony of Leckie of Stirlingshire, which was created in 1352. Probably the most famous Leckie was Sir Walter, who, during the 100 Years War became the bodyguard of King Charles Vll of France and commanded the victorious Scottish troops at the Battle of Lagny on the 10th August 1432. During his childhood, Malcolm’s family lived at Glebe House, Blackheath and he attended Blackheath School before being privately educated abroad. Finally, the Leckies moved to Monkstown, in Crowborough, Sussex. ....
