Pretty sure this is Thomas Leinster 11 Battalion RWF Service number 14574
Looks like the photo was sent in by Florence Bourne.
Thomas married Florence’s sister Agnes Bourne in June 1918 at Battle
Hi Woody, thank you for this information. I’ve updated the record accordingly. 100 year old typos can cause confusion! Kind Regards, Kieron.
Hi there, thank you for putting this photograph up, this is my grandfather Thomas, it is lovely to see him as a young man. As Woody has mentioned Thomas and his friend, John Mackie married two local sisters. My grandmother, formerly Agnes Louisa Bourne, was from Hollington, my grandparents continued to live in Hastings after their marriage and had two children Elizabeth & Thomas – my father.
Hi Jacqueline. Thank you for taking the time to provide this interesting information. Kind Regards, Kieron.
