239868 Pte. Thomas Ebdell British Army 5th Battlion, B Coy. South Wales Borderers from:Barrow-in-Furness (d.8th Nov 1918) Born on 15th May 1899 Tom Ebdell was too young to join up when the first world war broke out. So he lied. On 19th August 1915 Tom enlisted as 3606, Private, in the 4th King's Own Royal Lancashire Regiment, 2nd/4th Battalion, B company. But on February 26th 1916 he was discharged for being under the age of 17. There is no record of Tom going home. He had been training in Wales at the time of his discharge, maybe this is why he then almost immediately became Private 49552 of the 5th Battalion South Wales Borderers.
