D.C.M. London Gazette 21 June 1916:
‘For conspicuous gallantry as a stretcher bearer. He lost his leg by shell fire when rushing to assist a wounded man, although he was himself wounded at the time.’
Thomas Seddon was born in 1888 and attested at Wigan for the 1/5th Battalion, Manchester Regiment on 6 August 1914. Posted to Egypt on 10 September 1914, he transferred to the Gallipoli peninsula on 6 May 1915 and was discharged on 24 September 1915. The latter date is corroborated by the recipient’s Army Service Record which states that he returned home to England on 15 July 1915, after approximately 10 weeks of active service on the peninsula, and was discharged on 24 September 1915. Seddon was subsequently granted a military pension from 1 November 1915 and was awarded a Silver War Badge.
