Pte. Thomas Gilmore
British Army 2nd Btn. Royal Hampshire Regiment
from:Benwell, Newcastle on Tyne
(d.2nd Dec 1942)
Thomas Gilmore was a real teaser and when he took me to visit a friend he was always told 'Stop your blithering Tommy, gan oot and tak the little humbug wi you'. He had a great sense of humour which I have inherited and have kept it to this day. I shall always remember my dad! His ginger hair and blue eyes and great sense of humour.
I am only sorry that I am thick using modern technology and so cannot post a photograph. I have one which he had taken with my brother and sister before sailing from Scotland and, sadly my brother, was killed 10 years later in Egypt. He also had a great sense of humour but now I find that having a sense of humour can get one into trouble!
