Gnr. Thomas Brooker
British Army 352nd Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Speldhurst
(d.5th August 1917)
Whilst doing my family tree I discovered that my great great grandfather lost a grandson, Thomas Brooker, in the First World War in Belgium. To cut a long story short I discovered that he was buried in Canada Farm Cemetery so I organized a trip to the Cemetery with my grandson and a friend. I had found his grave reference, we visited the grave and planted a red rose then we went down into Ypres for a lovely meal and a look around the town and drove back home to Herstmonceux. A memorable day was made. He was wounded in action and died in Woesten Field Hospital.
