Thanks Dave,

How can I find out what further action the Army Authorities took? The reason I ask is that I recall my grandmother, Thomas' wife, saying that she remembered the “day they brought him home in a cage”. I was very young at the time and eavesdropping on adult conversation, so am not sure in what context she was speaking at the time, but those few words have stuck in my memory. Would the Army have arrested him if he ignored any conscription notice served on him?
I also note that WW1 was over within 18 months, so is it possible that he was not called up?
