Rflmn. Thomas G Morris
British Army 17th Btn. London Regiment
from:Hommerton
(d.1 Oct 1916)
Thomas G Morris "Tommy" was my Grandmother's brother. It was told to me that Tommy enlisted and survived for 2 weeks after being sent to France with his regiment. I'm not sure if this is true but like so many brave young men we owe them so much. Tommy was 19 years of age when he was killed on 1st October 1916 - he has a headstone and is remembered at Walencourt British Cemetery - North of Albert, a wonderful quiet peaceful place now - unlike when Tommy and his comrades were there.
If anyone can furnish me with any further information on Tommy I would be grateful.
