My grand uncle George Tomkies was just 26 when he died on the 27th November 2015 in the battle on the Western Front (Flanders). He was born and lived in London - the son of George and Emma Tomkies. I am trying to research exactly where in the battle he was either injured or killed - work in progress. Next year on the 27th November I will make the journey to St Omer to visit his grave. as it will be exactly 100 years to his death.
