A Liverpool man killed in the final weeks of WWI has been honoured by workers at his former employer.
Thomas Thompson was 24 when he was killed as his unit advanced into Belgium on October 21 1918. He is buried in Esplechin, the town where he died. Thomas was born in Everton in 1894 and lived on Arundel Street, Walton until the war started. Thomas enlisted and joined the Royal Field Artillery.
Thomas served alongside his Toxteth -born friend Alfred Welsby who was given the military service number next to his. Thomas worked at Caryl Street gas works before he enlisted, which at the time was a huge gas production plant close to what is now Brunswick train station.
