hi barbara

i thought to start with like a lot or men that he joined up about 1914 but now see i was wrong.
funny that we both checked this site so now i will need to dig deeper and see what and why joined the   shorpshire light infantry after all he had a trade as a plasterer.

hi
as thomas john walletts grandsoni am also looking in to his pasti contacted the cheshire museum and a very helpful guy there has put me on to chatham as this is royal engineers http://www.re-museum.co.uk/ he also was able to tell me that he thought  thomas wallett was in the army proir to the war ,left and was recalled to colours in august 1914. as he was posted on the 12/12/1914 .i have not been able to verify this yet but when i asked if he could have been in the T A he thought this unlikley hi shropshire L I number 6276being a low one  points to him being a regular about 1900 as there is no sign of him on the 1901 census.

i hope to find out more when i call the museum in the next week
