He had just turned 18 less than two weeks prior, therefore it is highly unlikely that he had served in the Great War. He died in the 5th Southern General Hospital in Portsmouth, from pneumonia, possibly related to the Spanish Flu pandemic. Thomas's brother Michael also served in the war. His sister, Margaret McNally of 6 St. Bridget's Terrace, was listed as his guardian.
