243723 Pte. Thomas Costello British Army 2nd Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers from:Pendleton, Salford (d.23rd Oct 1916) My Son who has joined the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers had a pin badge given to him.The badge was made from the artillery that was found at the Somme. With the badge came a card with a soldiers name, rank and date of death and the cemetery he is buried at. The badges are made for each soldier that died at the Somme so that they are never forgotten. I felt I needed to find out more about Private Thomas Costello and his life so that he will never be forgotten and I am in the process of doing this. Thomas was buried at Guards' Cemetery Lesboeufs. He was possibly the Thomas Costello born in 1882. In 1901 he lived with his widowed mother Catherine and by 1911 he was married to Maria and had two children; Thomas S. and Marion. He was employed as an Iron Turner. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
