Pte. Alfred Ellis
British Army Yorkshire Hussars
from:Cottingley Hall, West Yorkshire
My father Alfred Ellis, served in the Yorkshire Hussars up to 1917: he enlisted as a reservist with his brother George in 1913. George only served till 1917 when he was demobilised having served the term of his service, but my father carried on and was wounded in 1917. The time and army unit are not known, though probably the Yorks & Lancs Infantry Regiment. I have a number of photos of these two brothers, but no other personal records except the service records of his brother George., those of Alfred were amongst the burnt records.
I am trying to establish any links and gather information about this unit
and other existing records, in addition to the PRO war diary records of the Hussars, showing their work and movements behind the lines etc.
