Pte. Albert Alfred "Tom" Kellaway
British Army 5th Btn. C Coy. Dorset Regiment
Albert Kellaway served in the 5th Btn Dorset Regiment from 18 April 1915 in the Dardanelles. He returned home onboard HMHS Britannic when she left Mudros on the 1st of January 1916, she sailed straight for Southampton, where she arrived on the 9th. He was treated at Lord Derby's Warrington War Hospital
We should like to know the dates of entry and exit from the Hospital. He was sent there either upon return from the Dardanelles after final evacuation Jan 1916 with Enteric fever (Typhoid) and to have left the hospital just before July or in July 1916 or he was there with Malaria after returning from East Africa in Nov/December 1916 and left we know not when.
The Cot card (Cot 43, L Ward) of Albert Alfred Kellaway Pte. 13149 C Company 5th Dorset Btn, still actually only 17 years old (d.o.b 8/3/1898) suffering from Enteric fever. Clearly the cards were printed for the purpose by the company.
The patients in this shot include Private Albert Alfred Kellaway, left side (from front) of nurse on bottom step. He was there recovering from Malaria in early 1917 as far as we know.
