The Accidental Heiress: Journey of a Glencoe Squatter's Daughter

Letitia Sarah Leake was the daughter of squatter Edward Leake who with his brother Robert moved from Tasmania to the South East of South Australia in 1844 where they established a vast pastoral empire; Glencoe Station. Following a massive and unpleasant court case Letitia became the sole beneficiary of this estate and moved to England where at the advent of WW1 she gave her estate to the Australian Government as Hospital No 1 for wounded ANZAC's and with her family helped in the convalescence of over 50,000 soldiers.
