I am trying to confirm that I have the correct person. My Richard Nixon Thomas was born 1896 in Sydney,NSW,Australia-son of David Brown THOMAS & Elizabeth Maud,nee NIXON. The family are in England in 1911 census. So I was hoping that the War record would say where he was born or other information to confirm. Richard had a sister Mildred b 1900 in Sydney. No others known.

The address on the medal card is 15 Lupus Street.
Just had a look at Electoral Rolls on Ancestry and in 1923 a Elizabeth Maud Thomas was recorded living at 15 Lupus Street, so it looks to be the same family.
She was also recorded as living there in 1928.

As he was an officer, his service records won't be on Ancestry, unless he was promoted from the ranks, in which case, his records before he was commissioned may be on there. However, his Officer file is at the National Archives
