Thomas Bailey was born at Dawley, near Wellington, Shropshire in 1869. He served with the K.R.R.C. in South Africa and then saw further service in France from 29 June 1915; it is likely that his age resulted in his postings to a number of Reserve and Service Battalions, culminating in the 877th Area Employment Company and eventual discharge to Class 'Z' Reserve in March 1917.
