Tom in uniform
In the grounds of The Hermitage - now The Holly Tree Club.
He was a Captain in the Artists Rifle Brigade (TA) and on out break of war was called up and made the Camouflage Officer for the 3rd Corps.
He died at sea when the boat he was in inspecting camouflage defences off the east coast hit a mine on 3 November 1941.
Pre-war he had been a well known artist and this album contains some examples of his work.
