What is your interest in him?

As you have probably seen from the MRI - there are 3 other entries with the same name & initial.

Duplicate post here in which you refer to him as Thomas George

As already stated in previous post - his WW1 service records have not survived so no further info available

There are several Thomas G Holder births - most  probably Thomas George - so it will not be possible to find his birthplace/birthyear etc without more info

One possible course of action, if at all possible, is to try and trace the back history of the Medal, of how it eventually came into Your hands.

You appear to have quite a number of similar enquiries re WW1/WW2 servicemen.  Are they connected to each other in some way?  If so - that may help in identification
