Thank you all for your fantastic help. I can now hopefully complete the plaque I am making up in memory of Tom Danks.

I do not unfortunately have his year of birth but would be around 1895-7. He did live in Yorkshire. His sister lived in Leeds so I am assuming a lot that that is probably where he was born as well but I cannot confirm this. I am looking for war service WW1 if this info helps.

I know also he was a private soldier

Good evening, as I am new to this please forgive any mistakes.

I am looking to trace any information on my late grandfather Thomas Danks. I know he was associated with the Bradford Pals and Leeds Pals I have camera footage of him setting off on a trip to France and the bus had a note on the window saying Bradford/Leeds Pals.

He trained at a place called Colsterworth as I remember visiting it as a young child, I know he ran communications wires in the trenches as I read that in one of his diaries many years ago. I am trying to track down which regiment he was a member of and what active service he saw.

Is this too much of an ask or can anyone help me?
