Pte Thomas Pooley

British Army 1/8th Btn Durham Light Infantry

from:Sunniside, Crook, Co.Durham

(d.26th Apr 1915)

Thomas Pooley's war lasted a mere 6 days. The battalion landed at Boulogne on April 20th, and he was killed on the 26th, at Gravenstafel, during the 2nd battle of Ypres. His name is recorded on The Menin Gate memorial, and also on the Memorial in Tow Law, County Durham, near his home village of Sunniside, Crook. He enlisted at Tow Law (date unknown)and was probably in H Coy. due to the proximity of its base in Hamsteels to both Tow Law and Sunniside.
