*GANDY A.

Gough, Thomas Carter, Private 38641 (formerly 36327 South Staffordshire Regiment)
1st Bn.  Lancashire Fusiliers attached to 86th Trench Mortar Bty.
Born in Bulwell Nottingham 15th March 1894 son of Alfred Carter (born Portobello Willenhall) and Elizabeth Gough (born Bulwell Nottingham). It appears that his parents were not married, and Thomas therefore had his mother’s surname.
By 1911 he was living with his father, step mother and half siblings Jack, Polly and Frank at 3 Roman Yard Quarry Road Bulwell, he was employed as a pot maker. At some point after 1911, and before he enlisted in the South Staffordshire Regiment in Lichfield, Thomas moved to Moseley Village, possibly to live with friends or relatives of his father and from where he enlisted into the South Staffords at Lichfield.
Thomas married his first cousin, Elsie May Carter, daughter of his father's brother, James Carter in 1916 in Wolverhampton.
Thomas was Killed in Action at Celery Copse, a small wood just south of Merris, Strazeele Area Northern France, 12th August 1918 aged 24. In his ‘soldiers’ effects’ he left six pounds.
