Cpl. Ernest Warren MM.
Britsh Army 18th Btn. Middlesex Regiment
from:Ridgewell, Essex
My father Ernest Warren was a lewis gun trainer in 1917-18 serving at Arras and Cambrai. He also took part in operations on the Somme 1918.
He was awarded the Military Medal for bravery on the Somme Front 1918 on April 15th 1918 for conspicuous gallantry. The story goes that he went to assist his comrade caught on the barbed wire. The other men mentioned were Sgt Baird and Pte Hayes along with my father. I have the original war document and photos.
I would love to hear from anyone whose relative was in same regiment as my father during WW1.
