W.J.Caughey Posted 15 January , 2012 Share Posted 15 January , 2012 Hi, Looking for more info on a Sgt T. L. Young. Rifle Brigade, who from a newspaper notice in Dec 1915 was reported to have DOW. Cant seem to find him in CWGC site. found this index in overseas Armed forces deaths 1796-2005 YOUNG Thomas L Unknown Rifle Brigade 1915 Also SDGW Name: Thomas Lawrence Young index Birth: city Death: dd mm 1915 - location Military: location More: See all information... But have no excess to these websites at moment. and was wondering if could be same T.L. Young. Newspaper article transcibed Dec1915 Mrs. Young, Sharp Street, Govan, has received intimation of the death from wounds of her husband, Sergeant T.L. Young of the 9th Batt Rifle Brigade. Sergeant Young volunteered for service when war was declared, and had been abroad for many months before he was mortally wounded. He served thoughout the Boer war, was stationed with the 1st Batt. of the Rifle Brigade at Palace Barracks, Holywood, and took part in sporting events of the battalion. He was a well known boxer. Kind regards Walter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
