Royal Sussex Regiment from:Midhurst, Sussex (d.6th Aug 1917) Not a lot is known, except that Uncle Thomas Mordle had been detached to 112th Infantry Brigade HQ as a runner. He was either wounded by shellfire or by a German sniper whilst going about his duty. Most likely he was taken to Dozinghem Field Hospital where he died of wounds on 4th of August 1917, and was buried at Dozinghem War Cemetery,at Poperinge West Vlandren (Flanders). He left a wife and two young sons back in Midhurst, Sussex. She went on to remarry in 1919 to Leonard William Lewis. He was the stepson of her sister who had married his father in 1908. They went on to adopt a girl in 1927/28 who had been born illegitimate to one of Leonard's sisters. Even though no one ever knew Thomas, he is not forgotten.
