Leonard
James KEYWORTH (1893-1915)
Leonard
Keyworth was born on 12 August 1893 and was the son of James Keyworth,
a tailor, who lived at 22 Coningsby Street, Lincoln. He was educated
at Rosemary Lane Wesleyan School and the Municipal Technical School
(now the City School).
When Leonard left school he was employed for a short time in his father’s
tailoring busi- ness before entering the offices of the Lincoln engineering
firm, William Foster & Co. He later joined the clerical staff
of Burton, Scorer and White, solicitors. Leonard Keyworth was a member
of the choir of the United Methodist Church in Silver Street and was
a keen sportsman. He played cricket for the Rechabites and YMCA clubs.
Keyworth enlisted as a private in the 24th Battalion of the London
Regiment on 16 Sep- tember 1914 and was posted to France in early
1915. Not long after his arrival in France he took part in the action
for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross. the citation published
in the London Gazette for 3 July 1915 reads as follows: ‘For
most conspicuous bravery at Givenchy on the night of 25/26 May 1915.
After the successful assault on the German posi- tion by the 24th
Battalion London Regiment efforts were made by that unit to follow
up their success by a bomb-attack, during the progress of which fifty-eight
men of a total of seventy- five became casualties. During this very
fierce encounter Lance-Corporal Keyworth stood fully exposed for two
hours on the top of the enemy’s parapet and threw about 150
bombs amongst the Germans who were only a few yards away.’
The investiture by King George V took place at Buckingham Palace on
12 July 1915 and his sister, Lily, travelled from Lincoln to be present.
On his return to Lincoln a number of receptions and other ceremonies
took place but Leonard Keyworth was anxious to return to France to
be with his comrades. Tragically, he was killed by gunshot wounds
to the head on 19 October 1915 and is buried in Abbeville Cemetery,
France. The London County Council founded a memorial fund to provide
book prizes for schoolchildren and each book contained a note on which
was inscribed: ‘LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL - KEYWORTH V C MEMORIAL
PRIZE.’
