Thomas Wilkin was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire. A Baker by occupation, he attested for the Commissariat and Transport Corps on 6 July 1883, aged 19 years, 3 months. With the C. & T.C. and A.S.C. he served in Egypt, August 1884-August 1885; Gibraltar, December 1893-January 1897 and South Africa, October 1899-May 1903. Awarded the L.S. & G.C. Medal in 1903. He attained the rank of Staff Serjeant-Major in May 1900 and was discharged with a pension on 30 April 1907. He returned to duty at that same rank on 7 June 1915 but was discharged as no longer physically fit on 19 October 1917. This is his total medal allotment as he didn’t qualify for WWI service.
