The following information has been researched by Sue Fellows:
Thomas was the brother of James and also lived in Longley Green, Suckley. He was involved in the battle of Cambrai at Bourlon Wood, which proved particularly hard to capture. The Guards were deployed to push the Germans out and it seems Thomas was killed during this action on 27th November 1917, aged 32 years. This was the same weekend as his brother James was also killed.

Thomas Plaskett has no known grave, the photograph available shows his name on Cambrai Memorial.
