Pte. Harry Ellis
British Army 10th (The Prince of Wales's Own Royal) Hussars

Harry Ellis was a pre-war regular soldier in the Cavalry of the Line, which in those days, fought on horseback. He landed in France with 10th (The Prince of Wales' Own Royal) Hussars on 6th Oct 1914 and received the 1914 Star, but did not receive the 'Mons' bar '5th Aug.-22nd Nov. 1914' awarded to those who were under fire in France or Belgium during that period, although that may have resulted from his not having put in a claim.
On the 1st of Mar 1916 Harry was transferred to the Machine Gun Corps (Cavalry) in which he served as 51197 Private H Ellis until 2nd of May 1919 when he was transferred to the Army Reserve, Class B. He had completed 12 years service with the Colours.
