World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Pte. Thomas Teasdale
British Army 13th Battalion King's Liverpool
from:26, Farnworth St, Kensington, West Derby, Liverpool
(d.31st Aug 1918)
Thomas Teasdale was my great uncle. Born in Liverpool in February 1898 the son of James and Elizabeth Teasdale of 26 Farnworth St. He was one of six brothers to serve in the King's and the only one not to return home. He attended Butler St, School in Everton and later became a Sunday School teacher at Brunswick Chapel.
He enlisted in the 8th (Irish) Liverpool Regt. in the first half of 1916 and was transferred to the 18th Battalion when posted overseas. Thomas was transferred to the 13th battalion K.L.R on 13th August 1918 and was killed in action on 31st August near the village of Ecoust St. Mein 5 miles SW of Bapaume, Northern France.
As a youngster I visited his grave and remember thinking why did this young Scouser,(plus hundreds of others) end his days near this French village in the middle of nowhere. It helped foster an interest in history which led to me becoming a teacher of history for 36 years. My family still make frequent visits to his grave so that the memory of one "Scouser Tommy" will not be forgotten.
