Pte Thomas James Proctor is interned in the Brookwood Military Cemetery, Surrey, England. The Brookwood Military Cemetery was established in 1917, when an area of land in Brookwood Cemetery (originally The London Necropolis) was set aside for the burial of men and women of the forces of the Commonwealth and Americans, who had died, many of battle wounds, in the London district. During WW2 this site was further extended to accommodate the Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War, and American, Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French and Polish plots containing the graves of Allied casualties.

Possibly a North Africa casualty. More research is required on this Memorial Cross
