His mother died in 1911 shortly after giving birth to his sister Ruth. His father died in 1912 in a work accident. Thomas, Frank and Ruth were subsequently adopted and raised by the Walters family who lived nearby.

Thomas joined the Boy service on 16th February 1921 and the Royal Navy proper on 20th July 1923. He served in submarines for around 12 years before returning to general service in 1935. He was the husband of Mabel Barnes, of Kingsley, Hampshire (married in 1930). He was 35 years old at the time of his loss.
