posted on 2024-01-15, 09:04 authored by Lest We Forget Project Team

Thomas Hollingworth was part of the British Expeditionary Force and served between 1914 and 1918. He was disabled and honourably discharged on 10th May 1918. When he was discharged, he was a private in the York and Lancaster Regiment (service number 32175), but he had begun the war as part of the Hallamshires.

Thomas survived the war and married Alice. He worked as a coupler and silversmith in Sheffield. He was also a passionate cricket fan, and he was proud to receive an award as founder member of Sheffield Cricket Umpires' Association (see newspaper cuttings). He died in the 1970s.
