Leonard Robert Jerram (SN 2668) was born in Ballarat and was a single 27 year old warder at the time of his enlistment in Melbourne on 28th June 1916. He joined the 57th Battalion and embarked from Melbourne on board the Nestor in October. He was posted to France in December and apparently passed the war relatively uneventfully, however bouts of dysentery later in 1918 resulted in his transfer to England. He returned to Australia aboard the Orontes in January 1919 and was discharged on 8th March 1919 as medically unfit.
His brothers Reginald and Harry also served in the AIF and are honoured with trees in the Avenue.
