Cpl. Thomas James Hammond
British Army 3rd Btn. Royal Welsh Fusiliers
from:Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire
Thomas James Hammond was my great grandfather. From 4th of August 1914 until 13th Sept 1917 he served as a Private with the 3rd Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers. From the 14th of Sept 1917 until the armistice and worked some clean-up after end of war, he was a Corporal with the 28th Coy. Chinese Labour Corps. He also was injured in action and spent time in hospital. This shrapnel is what eventually led to his leg being amputated and his death in 1957 in Hendon, London, Middlesex, England. After the clean-up duty, he came home from the war and found out about the death of his wife- Julia Bruder from scarlet fever, which she had contracted at the war-end party.
I would love to find more information about his duties, war job and his injury!
