Great video Sarah - thanks for sharing. It is almost certain that Private Ellis did not die abroad with his body being brought home. We had nearly one million dead during that senseless carnage and there was a strict policy that everyone from the humblest private to the highest ranking officer was buried in the land where they fell. It would have been a logistical impossibility to bring back all the dead when we were already stretched to the limit regarding logistics. With recent smaller conflicts such as Afghanistan where casualties were relatively low, the bodies could and were brought home. But not so in WWI. Private Ellis likely returned injured and died of his wounds when back in Britain. Keep the quality graveyard videos coming and have a great 2025.
Hi Sarah. George William Ellis Served in India. He signed up in 1908 and was pronounced no longer physically fit for war service in 1917 after nine and a half years service, with the recommendation that he receive sanatorium treatment on discharge. It seems like he had TB, which he first contracted in 1914.
