Thomas Wrigley’s military career.
He joined up at about age 14/15 which would have been between 1916 –18. He came from Hulme in Manchester and was in the Lancashire Fusiliers, spent some time in India were I believe the hockey photo was taken (I have ringed Tom). He sailed back from India aboard HMT Somersetshire on the 24 December 1931 from Bombay and docked at Southampton on the 15 January 1932.
He came out of the Army sometime after WWII at the rank of CSM.

It was Great to see the Old pictures of Wellington. especially the Sgts mess and the Grand Funeral of C/Sgt Goodwin.
Wellington still maintains the charm of those days, I will soon send the current pictures of Wellington and I am also looking for the Grave of C/Sgt Goodwin.
