Ernest was discharged on 30 Sep 1917 at Beverley after catching Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in the trenches. Ernest is buried in Newport, Wales and shares a war grave with William Basford of the Liverpool Regiment. It is highly likely that they are being treated for TB in a nearby TB Asylum.| Personal & Family History |
