Who was this man? Pte 3363 Thomas Hughes

[Chris_Baker]

If anyone can shed any light on this (and I accept from the start that it is a very long shot), I would be most grateful.

Private 3363 Thomas Hughes, 7th Battalion the London Regiment, killed on 25 September 1915. No personal details at CWGC; "Soldiers Died" only says he lived at City Road EC and enlisted at the battalion HQ. His service record can not be found.

I would like to determine who he is: age, address, next of kin. In particular, any connection with the Spitalfields area and Christ Church, Spitalfields.

Thank you. It is actually that man that I am trying to prove/disprove as being Pte Hughes as in my opening post.
