Hi Adrian
The only information on Thomas's medal card is-
Leinster regiment, service number 5557, Victory Medal and British Medal
You are right when you say the it's better to work backwards so maybe you should start with the names of your grandparents and where and when they were born.

i would say circa 1900s as my nan was born about 1930.
maybe i can work backwards. i know my nan died in 1997 so i could maybe find stuff out that way..

some of the WWW1 records are now on Ancestry. so if you post the details someone will check to see if any of his records have survived
