Notes - Thomas served as a Private in the 120th Battalion in WWI. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant Corporal. At the time of his enlistment, on 20 Dec 1915, he was residing at 132 Birch Ave., Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada and employed as a machinist. His next of kin was listed as his father, Thomas Angus. On 10 Aug 1916, he was transferred to England. On 18 April 1917, he was sent to Amiens, France. On 9 Aug 1918, he was wounded in combat, receiving a through and through gunshot wound to his right buttocks. He was treated at a field hospital in Amiens, the transferred on 11 Aug 1918 to a hospital in Rouen, France, for surgery to remove the bullet. The surgery was unsuccessful because there was no bullet to remove. (Hence the injury being recorded as "through and through.") On 16 Aug 1918, he was transferred to Bristol Hospital, Bristol, England. He was discharged a month later. Subsequent x-rays showed the bullet still inside. On 12 Sept 1918, he was transferred to a Canadian military hospital in Oprington (London), England. On 15 Oct 1918, he was declared healed and recommended for return to the command depot. He was honourably discharged on 11 Jan 1919. He was paid $15/month for his service.
Thomas and Rose lived in Hamilton. Thomas died at age 33 from pneumonia. They never had any children. Rose lived alone as a widow for the remaining 58 years of her life.
