Pte. Thomas Wilson
British Army 1st Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps

(d.27th July 1916)
Thomas Wilson was my great uncle, my grandmother's brother. Thomas was deployed on 13th August 1914, and fought in every major battle of the war. Thomas was killed in action on the 27th day of July 1916. It was also his 27th birthday, and the 27th day of the Battle of the Somme. He was killed at Delville Wood. His good friend and seargant, Albert Gill, won a VC and Thomas was with him that fatefull day.
No grave for Thomas exists. His name is on the Thiepval War Memorial. Never forgotten Thomas, and loved and respected by all who have been told about you.
