Pte. Ernest Ralphs
British Army Imperial Camel Corps
from:Shrewsbury
Ernest Ralphs joined the Shropshire Yeomanry with his younger brother Harold who was under age. He volunteered for the Camel Corps and ended in the Royal Hussars. Like so many he never discussed his experiences but laughingly told me that a nasty dark scar on his cheek was caused by riding into a palm tree on an out of control camel!
