218412 L/Cpl. Thomas Edward Cross British Army 10th Service Battalion Cheshire Regiment from:Weaverham Cheshire (d.10th July 1916) Tom Cross was my great uncle, one of 9 children to Thomas and Hannah Cross of 12 Moss Street, Weaverham, Cheshire. He signed up in September 1914 and was killed in the Battle of the Somme on 10th July 1916 aged 20. He is one of thousands of soldiers whose bodies were never returned home and he lies in a field in France, but is remembered on the family grave as killed in action, and named on the Thiepval Memorial. Sadly, there are no surviving family photographs, if there ever were any, so I have no image of Thomas, but have found some photographs of the Battalion on the Internet and he may be on one of them. Thomas had two brothers who also served in the First World War and survived. I dedicate this to his memory, the boy he was, the man he might have become and the life he may have lived. We will never forget him. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
