Detail :
CHANT, Thomas Roy, Lieutenant, 1/13 London Regiment (Kensington Btn) At present we can find no significant information on Thomas CHANT beyond the basic data. There was no record in the Kensington's database which suggests that he did not serve overseas. This is perhaps supported by his burial in Watford. Any information gratefully recieved.
