1885-1917<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas Lowbridge <\/strong>(Lowbridge \na family name on his mother`s side) also attended Greenbank School, Trent \nCollege, Nottingham (left 1902) and finally Liverpool College. He then went to \nCorpus Christi Cambridge obtaining a BA and then undertook a Divinity course at \nWyckliffe Hall, Oxford. He went to work in the Mission Field in China and when \nWW1 broke out travelled to Perth, Australia and enlisted in the Shaftesbury \nHotel on 26th July 1915 with the Australian Imperial Forces in the Infantry. On \nhis enlistment he was described as 29 years and 11 months, height 5 feet 2 1\/2 \ninches, weight 121lbs, chest measurement 31\/33 inches, complexion fresh, eyes \nblue, hair brown. On his attestation papers he puts himself down as a \nschoolmaster and that he had served four years with the C.I.V.(?) and resigned. \nIn answer to the question had he ever been rejected as unfit for His Majesty`s \nService and on what grounds, he wrote ‘Yes, chest measurement’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in 1916 he was serving in France and at the end \nof July was wounded in action. On the 12th August 1916 he received a Field \nGeneral Court Martial and the charge was wilful defiance of authority which \noccurred on 4th July! He was sentenced to 30 days.  He was returned to the \n1st West General Hospital in Liverpool on the 24th of August.  In November \nhe returned to France and in January 1917 he was again wounded, this time \nfatally.  His commemorative information is at Heilly Station Cemetery, \nMericourt-L’Abbe, Somme, France. VI. H.14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his file there is a copy letter from \nhis brother Alfred to the military<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dear Sir<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 1915, my brother, 2248, \nPrivate T L Young 28th Battalion, 7th Brigade, enlisted in the AIF and left at \nshort notice for the front. He then deposited some private effects with Messrs. \nRudders, unfortunately in 1917 he was killed while on active service. Rudders \nforwarded the goods per the Dominion Express Co. to my father, Col. T F Young, \nnow living at 2130 Central Avenue, Shoal Bay, Victoria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My father complains at the charge made, \nas he understood the Military Authorities returned deceased soldiers effects \nfree of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made enquiries at Military \nHeadquarters in Melbourne but they referred me to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should deem it a favour if you would \nlook into the matter at your earliest convenience, and see what can be done and \ncommunicate the result to my father<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours faithfully<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Sgd) A H Innes Young’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is listed on the Liverpool College Roll of Honour, where it states he was with the 28th Battalion of the Australian Contingent <\/a>and served some time in Egypt. He was actually a stretcher-bearer (volunteer). His effects forwarded to his father Thomas in Lord Street included Bible, 12 Handkvs, Tin, Purse, 8 Coins, Card case, Safety razor and blades, Testament, Cap comforter, Studs, Tie, Clip, Waterproof bag, Needles, Air cushion (damaged), 2 Brushes, Cotton bag, Post cards. Also Wrist watch and strap, Leather purse, Holy Bible, Hymn Book, 3 notebooks, letters, Religious book, Scissors, Badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously Thomas Lowbridge was fairly short in stature and I would be interested to know his siblings` measurements.  I do know from photographs that his sister Dora, my grandmother, was also very short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
