Obituary published in the Nottingham Evening Post dated 8th November 1918:- “THOMAS. – In loving memory of Pte. Chas. Thomas, Yeomanry, died of wounds November 8th, 1917. We think we see his smiling face as he bade his last good-bye, and left his home for ever in a distant land to die. We think of him in silence, and his name we often call, but there's nothing left to answer but his photo on the wall. – From his ever-loving father, mother, sisters, and brothers Jack and Sim in France.” Above obituary courtesy of Jim Grundy and his facebook pages Small Town Great War Hucknall 1914-1918
