Caryl,

Thomas is recorded as being the RSM  when he got the MC ( Wyrall 1914 - 1918).

Regards Charles

Many thanks Charles, didn't know that!!

His service record hasn't survived

This snippet was passed onto me, must have been promoted before he received the MC

Sgt T P CARNEY Military Cross 1 Jan. 1919 (New Year Honour) as CSM 1st Bn. East Yorks Regt.

However, note: "Birthday Honour, but in fact for gallantry in holding a

bridgehead following an attack on Le Sars, Butte de Warlencourt and Eaucourt

L'Abbaye and the crossing of the Ancre. The bridgehead was held for 15 hours

before being relieved." (from 'The Snapper' 1925)
