Treated by the 2nd Casualty Clearing Station and the 8th Stationary Hospital for a shell wound to his right side, he was evacuated to England aboard the HS Jan Breydel where he entered the Saffron Walden Hospital on 19 Dec 1917.

Recovered, he re-entered France via Southampton on 1 Mar 1918, and rejoined his unit on the 7th. On 18 Sep 1918 Tom was wounded in action for a second time, and this time he was treated by the 20th Casualty Clearing Station for a shell wound to the right knee, before being passed on to the 1st Australian General Hospital in Rouen. On 29 Sep 1918 he was well enough to be discharged to a Convalescent Depot and then return to his unit on 23 Oct 1918.

1st wife Jane died in Kelmscott on 14 May 1920 aged 33 as a result of childbirth, with their daughter Joyce dying on 17 May 1920 aged 7 days.

In 1923 Tom married Alma Elvina Augusta Newmann in Kelmscott. Their son Adrian Tyrell, aka Terry, was born 7 Jan 1924 and died 13 Sep 2013 aged 89 in Palmyra. Their daughter Doris (Dorothea N M ?? b. 1922).

The Late Mr. T. E. T. Marshall.

The funeral of the late Mr. Thomas Edward Tyrell Marshall, builder, of Second-avenue, Kelmscott, who passed away suddenly on Monday last took place in the Church of England Cemetery, Kelmscott, on Wednesday and was largely attended. Deceased, who was only 52 years of age, was born in Yorkshire, England, and, with the exception of his service in the Great War, had resided in this State for the past 27 years. Coming to Kelmscott and residing there for the past 20 years, he became a well-known and highly respected citizen of the district. He was a devoted husband, loving father and sincere friend to all, and a sincere appeal to him for help for those less fortunate never fell on deaf ears.

Although a busy man, he always found time for the welfare of the different organisations of the district. Among the many movements for which he worked enthusiastically were the boy scout troop, his Church (where he attended regularly), the Masonic Order, the Returned Soldiers' League, and the 8th Battery Association. Always of a cheerful and helpful disposition, his sudden calling to higher service will be sadly regretted, not only by his near relatives but by his many friends, and the district will be the poorer for his passing. The lengthy cortege, with the hearse a mass of floral tributes, moved from his late residence, Second-avenue. Kelmscott, and proceeded to the Church of England Cemetery, where, after the last rites of the church were celebrated and a most impressive address delivered by the Rev. J. W. Budge (rector of Armadale), his remains were laid to rest, the casket being preceded to the grave by members of Troop 85 Boy Scouts.

The chief mourners were Mrs A. E. Marshall (widow), Miss Doris Marshall (daughter), Master Adrian Marshall (son), Mrs. A. E. Marshall, England (mother). Mr. and Mrs. A. Marshall (brother and sister in-law), William, George and Norman (England), brothers. Mr. and Mrs. D. Price and Miss Curedale (friends). The pall-bearers were Messrs. F. A.
