Pte. Robert Ellis Hughes
British Army
Machine Gun Corps
from:Malltraeth, Isle of Anglesey
My grandfather, Robert Hughes, served from 28th November 1914 to 23rd July 1919. He saw action in the Gallipoli campaign and afterwards in the Palestinian Campaign. There is very little known about him as his war records were destroyed during the blitz WW2.
He was in the Machine Gun Corps during this time. My grandfather survived the war, but it has always been known or thought that he was gassed, he died on the 10th April 1927 age 33yrs.
