Thomas E. Cairns

[Guest ringkng98]

I am looking for information regarding Thomas E. Cairns. I believe that the information in this thread (http://1914-1918.inv...howtopic=122149) relates to this individual. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the only information I have run across, service-related or otherwise. If anyone has any information on this man (wife, children, other relatives, etc), please reply to this post.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks a lot Gary.

Would you happen to have any information on when he enlisted in Dundee (I'm assuming he enlisted in Dundee)? Or when he shipped out?

Thanks again for your help,

Chris
