FLETCHER |
Thomas |
A
good candidate is
Thomas Fletcher, son of Thomas (senior) and Mona Fletcher of Fore
Street, West Looe. Born in 1895 and thus would have been age 19
at the outbreak of war in 1914. A possible reason for the lack of
details could perhaps be that the 1911 census shows that Thomas
had moved away from Looe and was living and working at Upper Holloway
in London. Also living at the same address was Harry Symons, born
1892, the son of Henry and Mary Symons of Market Street, East Looe.
It looks like the two lads set off together to widen their horizons
in London. Possibly volunteered and joined the conflict together.
