Thomas Eden about 1888 not on BCC, K.I.A.

https://menandmemorialsofdudley.co.uk/b ... den-thomas

Thomas Eden was born in Halesowen and was living in 1914 with his wife, Elsie, at 49 Windmill Hill, Cradley. He was a coal miner at Harper and Moores and, when he was informed that his brother, George, had been killed in action on the Aisne in 1914, he volunteered for war service. He enlisted in the Royal Engineers in November 1915 and was posted to the 257th Tunnelling Company. This unit was in the Neuve Chapelle area and engaged in the highly dangerous activities associated with mining under enemy lines. In July 1916 he was gassed and returned home until January 1917. He went into the front line again in late March and died from drowning on the 9th April when the gallery he was working in was flooded. Sapper Thomas Eden was 29 years of age and is buried in the Rue du Bacquerot Cemetery at Laventie (III A 16) and commemorated on the Cradley and Halesowen Memorials. His brother, George, was a regular soldier who was killed on the Aisne on the 21st September 1914.

Also Thomas's brother George Eden about 1884, K.I.A.

George Eden was the son of Thomas and Mary Eden and attended Halesowen C of E School. He was a regular soldier, possibly in the Reserve, with the Worcesters in 1914. He was well known in Halesowen as a Scout Leader and joined the 3rd Battalion with the British Expeditionary Force. They were at Mons on the 23rd August to face the first German advance and took part in the gruelling retreat which took the army back to the Marne. The German forces were forced to a halt and then obliged by to retreat to the Aisne where several important actions were fought. In one of these on the wooded heights above the river a contested German attack led to many casualties. Among those killed in action on the 21st September was Lance Corporal George Eden. He is commemorated on the La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, Halesowen and Halesowen C of E School Memorials. His brother, Thomas, enlisted in the Royal Engineers and died on the 9th April 1917.
