Hello - a new recruit here - questions concerning home leave from the Western Front 1914-1917
How long did a new soldier have to serve before being granted leave? - and -
What was the average duration of leave? - and -
what was the average length of service between leaves?
Many thanks

I don't know what was the standard allowance but one of my Grandfathers only got 4 weeks of home leave in 4 years in France. It was a big issue and he resented it greatly. Apparently he was always needed. He was in the RE.
