I think I have discovered why he called himself Thomas Johnson when he enlisted. |

Ronald I had a look at the record. Thomas was in the DLI from 1902 till 1905 and then on Reserve till 1914 , so not on active service for the last 9 years which explains why he was with his in-laws in 1911 (but not why he enlisted in another name) |

I am intrigued now as this appears to be Thomas C Martin in 1911 with wife Margaret J and son Thomas William, names correspond to those given in Army Records. |

It is quite interesting there is a Declaration at the end from Thomas Craddock Martin saying he was enlisted under the name of Thomas Johnson 10/3/1902 and now declares to be incorrect and offers a birth cert as proof of his real name |
