John Lister Thomas
British Army 8th Battalion South Lancashire Regiment
from:Shrewsbury
(d.21st October 1916)
John Thomas served with the 8th Battalion South Lancashire Regiment. Just discovered his details from a piece of fa,mily history I had had for a long while. He shared the same great great grandfather as me, Richard Lister. John was a coach painter in civilian life although he was known to have poor eyesight. He was unmarried. He was killed on the Somme in 1916 and his body was never found. His name is on the Theipval Memorial to the missing.
