Corporal Thomas S. Crompton, killed in action, was the son of Mrs. L. I. C. Crompton, of Queen’s Avenue, Dominion Road, and was born at Omata, Taranaki, 26 years ago. His father, the late Mr. H. J. Crompton, was a volunteer in the early Taranaki wars, and his grandfather, the late Mr. W. M. Crompton, was the first editor of the Taranaki Herald, and also one of the first members of the General Assembly on the Constitution Act being brought into operation in 1853. Corporal Crompton was foreman to Messrs. Duncan and Davies, nurserymen, of New Plymouth. He was a volunteer before the days of the territorial system, and afterwards a sergeant of territorials. One of the first to enlist in New Plymouth, he was in the landing at Gallipoli, and he was slightly wounded on the peninsula in the following July. (Auckland Weekly News, 29 March 1917, p. 48) AWMM
