Gnr. Thomas William Sexton 100th Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery (d.18th Nov 1944)

Thomas Sexton was from Canning Town, London. He served as a gunner with 100th Anti-Tank Rgt, R.A. 8th Bn. Gordon Highlanders. My Great Uncle, Tommy fought in Kohima and Burma during 1944 whereby he died in service in November 1944 and laid to rest in Kohima. Cause of death was believed to be tropical disease of some sought. He was aged just 24.

I'm desperately trying to find out more information about others he served with, where and at which times. Any information or photographs would be a massive help.

L/Sgt. Thomas Nealings Tait 100th Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery

From what I can find out from bits and pieces my father has told me, Tommy Tait served in the 8th Gordon Highland Battalion, which was converted to the 100th Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery. He was possibly an oc-driver in Burma.

Can anyone help me fill in some or all of the gaps, please?
