Sjt. Thomas Clarence Pitts MM.
British Army 10 Battery Royal Artillery
from:Hayes, Middlesex
My Grandfather, Thomas Pitts was awarded the MM on 11/11/16. he served with 10 Bty Royal Artillery in the Royal Field Artillery. My grandmother kept his service record which included signing up in 1904 to the RA. He became Battery Sjt Major and Warrant Officer II leaving the Army in 1928. His MEF involvement suggests taking part in the Galipolli campaign. I would love to know what he got the MM for.
