Notes |
- never married.
Thomas, aged eight years and 8 months at the time of his father's death, was reared after his parents' deaths, by his Uncle and Aunt, William Denham Eva and Martha Eva. On the 27 September 1877 he volunteered under Captain Harvey commanding the Queenstown men on the Galeka Frontier. On the return under the command of Captain Harvey he joined Major Elliott's Division as a Lieutenant over the Tamboorkies. After the close of the Xhosa Wars he joined the 1st Battalion Imperial of Cape Yeomanry under Colonel E.Y. Brabant.
He was sworn in at Umtata and then proceeded to Morosi's Mountain where along the road he had taken ill after two months serving Cape Yeomanry (Soldier Number: 9324). In consequence of his illness contracted by exposure in the field he lost one eye. He was obliged to be sent to Queenstown Hospital. He could not afford the medical bill and he depended on the charity of his friends. Due to this reason he applied for a compensation from the parliament assembly as he was discharged from 1st Regiment of Cape Yeomanry on 9 Sept 1879. It seems that his Uncle James Allwright paid for his medical account as the compensation applied for in 1880 was never paid out till his death. He was learning to farm when he died in William and Martha Eva's home in Whittlesea on the 4 August 1881 at the age of 24 years. His Death Notice is signed by his father's brother James Allwright.
