Shared note | Thomas joined the Army 3 months before the first world war started. He was just seventeen and lied about his age so that he could proudly take his place in The Kings Own Royal Regiment. During the 1939-1945 war he saw action in North Africa, including the Siege of Tobruk and with the Chindits in Burma. He survived that war but was recalled to the Army in 1950 to fight in Korea with the Royal Ulster Rifles. He died in action in 1951 days before his period of reserve was due to end. It took 40 years to get his name added to the Cenotaph in his home village. |
