Title: Harry Ellison - Death Certificate

Description: Harry's death certificate - 1918

Connected by: Linda159956

Additional: Sadly Harry died a week after Armistice Day. His father Thomas Ellison took care of him in his last days. Harry was dreadfully wounded from the war. My Great Grandfather Thomas Ellison was an Asylum attendant. I was told by a lady who transcribed Harry's war details that Thomas would have taken care of him very well as Harry was very badly head injured from the war. Harry was likely to have been in a work party when he was injured as his wounds where at the back and my source said he would have had his back to the enemy. Rest in peace Harry. Forever remembered by his very proud Great Great niece Linda Diane Rudnicki of Rugby, Warwickshire
