Pte. Henry Donnison Thompson

British Army 20th Battalion (1st Tyneside Scottish) Northumberland Fusiliers

(d.1st July 1916)

I have the WW1 medals and Death Plaque of Henry Donnison Thompson as they have been passed down to me from my family. Henry he was my great grandfather's older brother and was born in 1893. Henry was a coal miner before serving, living in the North East of England.

After researching my family history I found out that Henry's father, William Boston Thompson, also went to war at the age of 44 serving in the 5th Advanced Remount Squadron looking after the horses in France. William survived the war but Henry was killed in action on 1st July 1916 aged just 24.
