Thomas enlisted in the South Lancashire Regiment, before transferring as Pioneer 113285 to the Royal Engineers on 25/08/1915, being referred to as a Chemist. He is promoted corporal, and later sergeant, and is transferred to Army Reserve class W and comes under the ministry of munition’s explosive supply department. He presumably works at HM Factory Gretna, where he meets Christina Connon, and they marry in Longtown in 1919.
