Thomas Slack was born around 1834 and attested for the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) on 9 January 1855. He served 1 year and 315 days with the Regiment and was discharged at Newbridge Barracks as unfit for service, on account of a fracture to the left foot. His service record further states that the injury was caused by ‘his horse falling with him in marching order at a canter - cannot walk well in consequence.’
