Biography
Private J Ellis passed through Peterborough East Station and signed the visitors’ book on 5 July 1916. He wrote:
“I write here not for beauty
I write here not for fame
I write to be remembered
So I’ll just sign my name”
He was possibly part of a group of four Royal Garrison Artillery soldiers, which included Private John Lancaster, Private John W Harland and Private Francis Miller Harding, who were stationed at Sheffield.
We have been unable to trace any military information about Private J Ellis. Is he your relative? Can you help?
