Pte. Thomas Bales
British Army 16th (Queens Westminster Rifles) Btn. London Regiment
Thomas Bales was my great great uncle. I have all his medals, dog tags and cap badge. I was left them by my grandfather in his will. I remember talking to uncle Tom as a boy and being told to speak loud as he was deaf from shelling in the war and being told to sit still so he could see me as he was nearly blind from being gassed. I know nothing more than that, except his sister never married as she cared for him from the time he returned from the war till his death many years later.
