Thomas Beardwood was an active member of the St John Ambulance Corps. He voluntarily enlisted into the RAMC at the age of 38 years and 3 months, and did his basic training at 'V' Company, Hut 12, 'E' block, Haig Hutment, near Farnham, Surrey. Thomas was 5 ft - 3 ins tall, his religion was Church of England and he was a Weaver by trade, although he never returned to work after the war because his war time experiences left him physically unfit (walking badly and body shakes). Thomas's last permanent residence was 63 Chester Street. [Information and photo kindly provided by Thomas's Grandson]
