Biography
Thomas appears on the School War Memorial, confirming that he attended the school. Parish and census records suggest only one possible man and in the 1891 census he is recorded as eleven and illegitimate. The census also reveals that he was living near Little Green with Ann Chamberlain, his mother, and Arthur Titmuss whom she had married in 1879. It also records three half-siblings, Lydia (b 1880), Charles (b 1883) and Albert Hezekiah (bapt 1885). He would have been about thirty-four at the outbreak of war.
