I wrote this article to be considered for the Durham newsletter and did not hear back in 2014. It sat in my Word file. So I decided to post here for others to read.
Ernie was my maternal grandfather. He died when I was five years old. As always, one wishes there had been some stories he shared with family somewhere but there is not. Thankfully the war records are now online and accessible to all.
I do not have a picture of Ernie in his soldier's outfit. But I think this photo gives a good idea of how he looked.
