Hi Adele,
Tom was my great uncle, his brother Endell was my grandfather, Eileen was my mum.
I remember as a lad going with my Grampy to visit Tom in Drybrook!
Did you manage to get Tom’s army service record!

I’m currently on a similar search for Endell’s service records with the RAF. We have photos of him in uniform.
Interesting they joined different services, I’ll see if I can find out if their other brother Albert also joined up.
Was Tom a miner like Endell? I understand some miners weren’t allowed to join up as mining was a reserved occupation for those aged over 25 or 30 depending on job role.
