L/Cpl. Tom Cammish Major
British Army 9th Btn. Yorkshire Regiment
from:Filey
(d.6th Oct 1918)
Lance Corporal Tom Major died aged 21 on the Somme. He was my late mother's uncle, though he died before she was born.
Some time after her death, I discovered details of his death and commemoration in a simple search of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, and quickly found his grave and details of its inscription, at Tincourt British Cemetery in France.
Amongst my mother's family photographs is this one of him with some of his fellow servicemen. He is 2nd from the left, middle row.
I currently am unable to find out any further details of how he died, but I keep searching.
