Sgt. Ernest Brown
British Army 7th Btn. Royal Warwickshire
from:Coventry
(d.18th Apr 1917)
My Grandfather Ernest Brown is my hero even though I never knew him. My father, Frank, was his youngest son, who was only 7 and a half when his father was killed. He had only 2 memories of him, the first, marching off to war from the Barracks in Coventry. And the other was when he came home on leave. He was lifted into the table by my grandfather and allowed to hold his rifle.
My grand father before the war was a brick layer and a Coventry Godiva Harrier. He joined up in October 1914 after being given a white feather from a woman when he was on his way home from work one night.
We have no photos of him and have no idea what he looked like, which is sad. I would have loved to have known my grandad. I would want him to know how proud I am of him
