Pte. Thomas Eaton
British Army 6th Btn. Lincolnshire Regiment
from:North Kelsey, Lincolnshire
Not a great lot is known about Thomas Eaton's service as, sadly, his service record is one of the many destroyed by fire in WW2. What is known, is that he joined up on 7th of November 1914 and served in the Dardanelles with the 6th Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment, and was then re-mustered to the Machine Gun Corps and served in France and Belgium.
He was a patient in the Abram Peel Hospital, being discharged due to neurasthenia in October 1914. The first record I can find of him being treated for this was on 29th of January 01/1918 at a 'Bandaghem' casualty clearing station near Ypres, when he was in the 60th Machine Gun Corps.
