G/44028, Private, 17th Middlesex (1st Football) Regiment (6th Brigade, 2nd Division)
Died Of Wounds on the 26th June 1917 aged 31.
Thomas was the son of Edward & Isabella Aldridge. Prior to joining the Army he worked as a Horse Keeper on a local farm.
He was taken prisoner by the Germans and held in the Niederzwehren camp where conditions were almost intolerable. Many prisoners were only given very rudimentary treatment for any wounds they had received and it is believed that Thomas died due to inappropriate treatment of his injuries.
Thomas is buried in the Niederzwehren Cemetery, Germany. (4.B.1.)
Medal Entitlement: British War Medal & Victory Medal
