A while back Andy asked if I could help finding a photograph of Thomas. To date I've not been successful but I will post what we have found so far. Casualty From his Will I've gathered his mother was called Mrs. McCauley of 6 Warwick Street, Glasgow. I've not found a marriage yet for her, but I have discovered a Daniel Macauley, lived at 6 Warwick Street from the 1935 property valuation rolls available at Scotlandspeople website. There's more to add later which I received helped from member Veronica from the Casualty Lists. I wrote to the National Archives of Scotland in case there was an Inventory of his Will filed which might have revealed his mothers first name, but that came back negative. Hopefully a relative may come across this thread in the future and be able to add that photograph. Thomas had been previously mentioned back in 2012 by Owen due to Thomas being recommended for a Victoria Cross which wasn't awarded on this thread Victoria Crosses That Never Were.... Tricky Dicky found the Ancestry entry. Thomas is mentioned on the Scottish National War Memorial Website. It states he was born in Edinburgh, but having searched the Scotlandspeople website I can find no Thomas born in Edinburgh area for the estimated year of birth 1917/18.

His MID citation was downgraded from a Victoria Cross which was the reason I was drawn to find out some more about him.
