Thomas George Foxen

[davidjohnwinch]

Does anyone have any more information?

4498 Rfn Thomas George Foxen of the Post Office Rifles has a Medal Record Card and is shown in the Roll of Honour in Charles Messenger's 'Terriers In The Trenches' as being killed in action on 25th July 1918.

However, the CWGC website has no record of this Foxen! Do they have him, but with a spelling mistake, or is he just not on their records?

I am taking a particular interest in this day in the PORs history as my Grandfather "got a Blighty one" in the major daylight trench raid, and I would like to tie up more of the loose ends.

Doug, Mel

Thanks for your help. It was the year of his death that was sending me on the wrong track.

I've been finding out a lot of what happened to my Grandfather (Sydney William Loxton of The Post Office Rifles) in the Great War and I've at last put most of it on a web site.
