Thomas Wrigley was born in Lower Broughton, Salford, Lancashire. A labourer by occupation, he enlisted into the Lancashire Fusiliers on 14 January 1896, aged 19 years. He served overseas in India, Egypt and Sudan, Malta and South Africa. Discharged to the Reserves on 13 January 1902, he was absent from reserve annual training and so restarted his reserve service in January 1906. He rejoined the regiment in April 1908.
