Biography
The following text was transcribed from the The Edmundian (1814-1819) – The contemporary magazine of St Edmund’s College:
The brothers Bantock came to St, Edmund's in 1908, but were twee only a few months. We understand that. Tom Bantock, as he was known to his companions here, received his commission in the Royal Fusiliers in the early part of last year, and proceeded to the Dardanelles where he received the wounds from which he died in November last.
Additional Information
*1 Believed more correctly, (County of London) Bn. London Regiment (Kensington).
