241501 Pte. Thomas Towey British Army 13th Btn. King's Liverpool Regiment from:Liverpool (d.25th April 1916) My great grandfather, Thomas Towey, was killed in the First World War, probably at the time of the St Eloi craters. The story in the family was that he died of bayonet wounds. He left a wife and six children. He was the only person of the name Towey who came from Liverpool who was killed in WWI. He was born in 1871 in Liverpool and served in the King's Liverpool Regiment for around 17 years. He also served in the Boer War from 1900 to 1903. On his grave headstone it has his age at the time of his death as 54. This is wrong, it should be 45 years old. His son, Michael Towey, was killed in WWII - again, the only person with the name of Towey killed from Liverpool.
