Sgt. Thomas Owen Ackers
British Army 23rd Btn. Royal Welsh Fusiliers
from:Portmadoc N.Wales
(d.2nd Nov 1918)
Thomas Owen Ackers served with the 23rd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers during WW1.
My grandfather was a patient at 1st Eastern General Hospital between 6/11/17 and 28/12/17 when he was discharged on medical grounds. He had been an asthmatic since childhood but didn't let this stop him being an active and dedicated soldier.
After discharge he became a photographer and drill teacher at the local grammar school in Portmadoc. Sadly this was a very short career, he died of Spanish 'flu on Nov 2nd 1918.
