   36th Divisional Ammunition Column, Royal Field Artillery served with 36th Division. The Ulster Division was formed from the Ulster Volunteer Force in August and September 1914, a process complicated by the tension surrounding the issue of Home rule. In July 1915 they moved to Seaford, Sussex in England. They proceeded to France in the first week of October, minus the Divisional Artillery, which followed in November. The 36th (Ulster) Division concentrated near Flesselles, north of Arras. With training and familiarisation, including periods in the trenches with 4th Division in the front line north of the River Ancre near Albert. On the 21st of October they moved to the area around Abbeville, for winter training. Between the 5th of November 1915 and 3 February 1916, 12th Brigade from 4th Division were attached to 36th (Ulster) Division, providing instruction. The 36th Ulster Division took over the front line in Spring. In 1916 they Division suffered heavily on the first day of the Battle of the Somme where they attacked at Thiepval. In 1917 They were in action at The Battle of Messines, capturing Wytschaete and in the The Battle of Langemarck during the Third Battles of Ypres and the The Cambrai Operations where the Division captured Bourlon Wood.

Dvr. Thomas Moore 36th Div Ammunition Column Royal Field Artillery (d.8th Sep 1918)

Thomas Moore enlisted as 41059 RAMC. Thomas was killed in action on the 8th September 1918 and is buried at Bertenacre Military Cemetery, Fletre, France. He was formally of 63 Sandy Row, Belfast.

If anyone could help me in regards to what his military history was I would be very grateful. I am unable to trace the exact battles that he fought in and also how he was killed. It also seems that I cannot get a copy of his will.
