I'm using the name kay.cee. I am also on findagrave under the same name. The 1915 star is the only medal unaccounted for so I'm glad it's in safe hands. Lovely of you to take such an interest and great care in trying to find family. I'm not sure how to use this site as yet so bear with me if there's a delay in my responding to any questions you may have for me Hi. I think we may have communicated together before and you shared loads of information about Tommy. My husband has now inherited some Tommy's war medals including his MM and death penny. How do I upload photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great gesture by the way!! Hi I'm a member of this step side of the family. My husband is descendent of Cynthia, Tommy's wife. Hubby inherited 3 of Tommy's medal including his MM and death penny.

Tommy died at Le Treport army hospital in France and is buried in the near by commonwealth cemetery (Mt Huon). Hi wife (Cynthia's, my husband grandma) and his mother travelled to France to see him on his death bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
