LESLIE SARJEANT died on Tuesday, April 16, 1929, at his home at Gerrard's Cross, at the age of thirty-four years.
The son of the late Captain Walter Sarjeant, he was born in Egypt, and afterwards educated at Felstead.

Mr. Sarjeant's engaging personality, and cheerful, kindly disposition, endeared him to everyone with whom he came in contact.
