My story begins in memory of the 3rd son Major Arthur Crichton Thomas, who was born in Jamaica B.W.I. 29th Dec,1890. He also went to the UK and joined the British Army of WW-1, he died on 19th Nov while serving with the Royal Garrison Artillery, and is buried in Belgium at Talana Farm Cemetery. This son of my grandfather, Jamaican Police Inspector Herbert Theodore Thomas 1856 to 1930. This son is also one of five sons who fought in the British Army of WW-1. All these five brothers were my step-uncles from my grandfather's first marriage. My grandfather did marry again after his first wife died, to my grandmother Leonora Thomas in Jamaica.
