Pte. Thomas Alfred Sharp

British Army 2nd Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment

from:Manor Farm Cottages, Gt. Holland, Essex

(d.30th Sep 1915)

Tom Sharp was my half uncle as my grandfather married Jane and when she died he married Bessie my Grandmother. Jane was Tom's Mum. He wrote to my Grandmother just before he was leaving for France and said he could not wait to get there (I have the letter) and also to his half brother asking him to become a soldier too "as he would have plenty of playmates".

I have the letter from Infantry Record Office York informing my Grandfather of his death on September 30th 1915. The cause of death being wounds received in Action. He is buried in the War Cemetery in Bethune. Row E Grave No 67 so if anyone is visiting there please visit him and say thank you from me.
