from:252 Dyas Avenue, Great Barr, Birmingham.
My grandfather, Sergeant Thomas Lockley, M.M died on the 28th March 1969, aged 71 years. He joined the Regiment on the 28th September 1915, and was awarded the Military Medal at Passchendaele Ridge when serving with the 2nd Battalion.
He remained with the 2nd Battalion and served in Ireland, Germany, Malta, Shanghai, Tientsin, and India. He was awarded the coronation medal in 1937 whilst serving in India.
In the last war he was attached to the Cheshire Regiment as a Lewis Gun instructor. Any news of his citation for his M.M in the battle of Passchendaele Ridge 1917 would be greatly received.
