Thomas Quinn

Died of Wounds on the 30/12/1916 received at Arras

The Battalion arrived at Boulogne on the 10/05/1915 and were part of the Divisional Troops (became Divisional Pioneer Battalion early 1915), 9th (Scottish) Division. Thomas arrived in France on the 04/08/1915. Thomas Died of Wounds received in Arras. SEE PHOTOS FOR 6 PAGES FROM THE 9th (SCOTTISH) DIVISION BOOK OF THE DIVISION'S ACTIVITIES AROUND THAT TIME. Thomas was previously wounded at Loos in 1915. His brother Bernard fell there and his other brother James survived the Battle of Loos uninjured. See Directory for Thomas' brother Bernard's page. I personally laid a Poppy at Thomas' grave in 2008 (see main grave photo). See photos for Thomas' Medal Index Card, his Newspaper clippings x 2, his Army Register of Soldiers Effects, his Service Medal and Award Rolls x 2, his CWGC Grave Registration x 2, his Headstone Report x 2, another photo of Thomas' grave, Faubourg d' Amiens Cemetery, Thomas Pension Records x 3 (his brother Bernard also listed) and the Seaforth Highlanders Cap Badge. Thomas' grave inscription reads "ON WHOSE SOUL SWEET JESUS HAVE MERCY R.I.P". Finally many thanks to Tommy O'Brien of Horwich near Bolton who looks after the brothers Medals and kindly sent the photos.
