Submitted Independently MOORE, Thomas “Tom” WWI Thomas was born in Nottingham, England in 1894. He was orphaned at a young age and sent to Dakeyne Farm in Mount Denson, near Windsor; this was a home for British youth with limited career options to be trained as farmers. Like many Nova Scotians, and British Home Children across Canada, Thomas eagerly volunteered to serve in World War I. With proper militia experience, he joined the 112th “Overseas” Battalion at its headquarters in Windsor in 1916. This Hants County unit had been raised the year before. Thomas survived the war and lived the rest of his life at Mount Denson. In 1914, Thomas sent for his future wife Lavinia to join him in Nova Scotia. She was also from Nottingham. Thomas passed away in 1978. The couple is buried at the Baptist cemetery in Mount Denson. Submitted Independently
