Answer 1

UK answer.

I have just checked out the GRO details for Thomas Byrne, was his death registered in Chatham in Kent. According to the details in the index for the J/F/M quarter he was actually 49 years old when he died, making his year of birth 1895.

I ask this because I did a search on ancestry.co.uk and it came up with this information,

British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920
