East Yorkshire Regiment 2nd Battalion Private No 11396 died aged 20 in 04.10.1915 First World War France and Flanders - killed in action at Ypes.

Trying to find a photograph of Thomas when he was a private. Any ideas.

Welcome to the boards JThompson - try using the Search All Member trees for any one who has him listed, then send them a message.

Extend your search by using his siblings, and parents names. The tree owners could be distant relatives who may have a photo
