Burial/memorial information
In France, Thomas had been deployed to the 22nd Battalion, but either because of a language issue or on his own request, he was transferred to the 24th Battalion one month later. With his new unit, he befriended Lindsay Calbeck (service number 1054648) and, in March 1918, as he apparently did not have close family, he named Evelyn Calbeck, his friend’s sister, as heiress. One month later, Lindsay Calbeck died in action, on 15 April 1918.
Thomas was severely wounded on 8 August 1918 at the Battle of Amiens and was evacuated to England one week later. He died there after three days.
