Sgt. Thomas William Toop DCM.
British Army 33rd Div Royal Field Artillery
from:Edmonton, Middlesex
My Granfather Thomas W.Toop enlisted about the age of 18 years and became a officer's servant. He was stationed at Canterbury Camp in 1910 and then moved to Trowbridge, Wiltshire by 1913,he received the D.C.M in 1914 and went to France.
He was promoted to Sargent and possibly to Sargent Major and survived the war to return home and run the family transport business that his father started. I have only been able to find his medal record but not his full history,if anyone could help with this I would be truly gratefull.
