Pte George Ellis Robinson
British Army 18th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Bradford
My Grandfather was George Ellis Robinson. He enlisted in the 2nd Bradford pals and was an infantryman until 10th July 1916. His service then changed with the formation of the machine gun corps where he served with the 6th Btn until being demobbed on 5th May 1919.
On surviving the war he married his Bradford girlfriend Ethel Abrahams and they had one child who was my mother Betty. They moved to St Annes on sea in later life where my Grandfather died in 1970. Though very young when he died I do remember him and am so glad to have a living link with such a proud and dignified man.
