Biography contributed by Brian Voce

Leslie Knight Voce was a cousin to myself, Brian Voce, brother, Lyal Voce and Doug Voce, our cousin.  We remember him as a larger than life person, who, older than us all, was something of a hero.  He lived in Grange, South Australia, with his parents, and was keen on sailing and fishing and was part of our early lives. He married Myra and had four children.   We largely lost touch in later years, afte WW2,  and have little knowledge of his later history.
