213299 Rfn. Henry George "Harry" Thomas British Army 12th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps from:Freemantle, Australia (d.14th Dec 1917) Henry George Thomas was my great great uncle. He was born in Windsor in 1885. He married in 1911 and the following year he emigrated to Australia for a new life with his wife and her cousin William Powell and his wife. All four returned to the UK in July 1916 and Henry joined the 12th Battalion of the Kings Royal Rifle Corps as a rifleman. He sadly lost his life on the 14th December 1917 aged 31 and is buried at the Etaples Military Cemetery. He left behind his widow Edith Louise and his 4 year old son George. Additional Information: I believe that the William Powell you write about here may be my GGF, William John Powell. He served with the AIF after deserting from the KRRC in 1910, returning to the UK on the last ship to take women and children... in 1916 when my GF was only 6 weeks old.
