Where was he born?  No birth in Scotland or England

EDIT

There appears to be an entry for him on the 1901 Irish census - do you already have it?

UK, Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects, 1901-1929
Name:   Thomas John Killen
Death Date:   20 Jan 1923
Rank:   Driver
Regiment:   Army Service Corps
Regimental Number:   T/10001

Record image mentions widow Susan (no address listed).
Looks like he re-enlisted on 31 July 1919 (as per WW I Service Medal and Award Rolls).
Perhaps he was part of the British occupation force, administered from Cologne.
