Army service edit

http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/exact=thomas+william+pearson;sort=oldest/start=1 a few false positives here, but it picks up his early years in the Volunteer Force (Great Britain) and the Territorial Force, as well as some First World War stuff. Further bits and pieces under http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/exact=t.+w.+pearson;sort=oldest/start=1 (again some false positives). David Underdown (talk) 11:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
