Pte. Thomas Willoughby

British Army 1/8th Btn. Worcester Regiment

from:Wickhamford, Worcestershire

(d.24th April 1917)

Tom Willoughby was my great uncle - an ordinary man, who was an agricultural labourer, but he joined the war to do his duty.

My mother, aged 3 in 1916, could remember rolling his puttees for him when he was due to return after leave.

He was killed in 1917 and is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial, having no known grave. My husband and I are the only relatives to have visited the site. A very impressive place and an extremely emotional day.
