Secondary Regiment: Labour Corps, transf. to (229265) 668th Coy.died 02/12/1918, aged 34. Son of John and Alice Powell, of Liverpool; husband of Elizabeth A. Powell, of 3, Fernleigh Rd., Old Swan, Liverpool. Remembered at Liverpool ( West Derby ) Cemetery, England. The service records have survived for Thomas. He enlisted with the 7th Hussars Horse of the line regiment on 26th May 1902 at Gosport, service number 6616. He gives his age as 18 years and 3 months, birthplace as Everton, Liverpool and occupation as a Clerk. He is 5 feet 4 3/4 inches tall, weighs 115 pounds with a chest measurement of 32 inches. His complexion is fresh, eyes Blue and Hair Browm. Thomas states that he has served before as a Domestic with the Royal Navy. 
Signature Of Thomas On His Enlistment Papers Not much is recorded of Thomas's Pre war service. In August 1910 he applies to his regiment to go to Sea. No outcome is mentioned, but on 26th August 1910 he is granted 1 years leave. Then on 24th November 1913 he writes the letter below and signs himself up for 4 years and the Army reserve list.  Thomas would have been called back up and ready for duty at the start of WW1. He joins the 3rd Hussars as Private 4744, and arrives in Rouen, France on 17th August 1914. He takes part in the early fighting before being wounded and returned to the UK on 22nd November 1914 where he is transfered to the Royal Infirmary in Glasgow, Scotland. The Army must have feared for Thomas's life as they sent the news to his wife Elizabeth at 3 Fernleigh Road, Liverpool telling her to obtain a Railway warrent so she could visit him in Glasgow. When she applied the Army office refused her a pass saying Thomas was not unwell. However a Telegram (shown below) dated 1st December 1914 states that the railway pass should be sanctioned as Thomas is dangerously ill.  
The telegram stating that Thomas is dangerously ill Thomas is discharged from hospital in Glasgow on 26th December 1914 and told to report to the York depot on 9th January 1915. Nothing more is listed on his Army service in the records, nothing to tell us where he went or fought. There is a note that he has a son born on 14th June 1917. A Telegram dated April 1917 (shown below) notes that Thomas is seriously ill in Portobello Barracks, Dublin, Ireland, and that a wire should be sent to his next of kin. 
Telegram mentioning that Thomas is seriously ill in Dublin On 13th July 1918 Thomas is transfered to The Labour Corps, then on 22nd September 1918 he appears before a invaliding boar at Belfast War Hospital in Ireland with a view to discharging him from service. Thomas is discharged on 15th October 1915 and awarded 9d per week for life in addition to any pension recieved. The board had found him unfit for duty due to General Paralysis of the Insane. On his dischared he was taken to Rainhill Asylum close to Liverpool. 
Details Of Thomas's discharge and transfer to Rainhill Nothing more is listed for Thomas apart from a letter dated 21st November 1918 from the Labour Corps asking for details on his condition. Sadly on the 2nd December 1918 Thomas passed away. We can only assume what caused Thomas's condition, was it illness or the horrors that he witnessed at war.
