Rflmn. Thomas W. Wells

British Army 1st Btn. Rifle Brigade

from:Sydenham, London

(d.27th April 1915)

Thomas W. Wells was the brother of my maternal grandfather, Percy Wells, who served in the Second World War in the Troop Transport Ships and then in the Royal Navy Reserve in a Minesweeper.

I am aware that Thomas was a Rifleman (No 745) in the 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade (The Prince Consort's Own) killed at Ypres Salient, France on the 27th April 1915, but know little else about him. I have a photograph that is purported to be him. However, the uniform he is wearing does not seem to match any that I have been able to find for his Battalion on the internet.

If anyone is able to enlighten me as to where I may find details of his service, it would be most appreciated, as I live in Australia, and I think I am the only one endeavouring to piece together the Well's family story.
