Pte. Thomas Ellis

British Army 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards

from:Birmingham

(d.1st Dec 1917)

Thomas Ellis was my paternal grandfather, about whom I new nothing until three weeks ago. I have his service records from the Coldstream Guards, and his burial details from the CWGC. He died at the battle of Cambrai, during the German counter offensive, on 1st of December 1917, age 28. He is commemorated at Gouzeaucourt New British Cemetery, and my wife and I are due to visit his grave in a little over four months time. It will be emotionally difficult, but no more than he deserves. He will not be forgotten.
