    Found it (I searched for Wallam Street). It's Radford.

    Wallam street is off Alfreton Road. Even number have gone though, only the odd numbers still standing.

    If you haven't already seen it, there's a pension card for him indexed under the name J. Ed Thompson, although you can only view the original document via Fold3. Mentions Thomas Wood.

    It also confirms that he was in the 2nd Battalion KOYLI, as also shown on the medal rolls. Their war diary is on Ancestry or can be downloaded for free (after registration) from the National Archives: https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C7352257
