225713 Pte. Ernest Howard Hancock British Army 11th Btn. London Regiment from:Islington, London (d.17th Aug 1915) Ernest Hancock (or Tim as he was known in the family) was my great uncle. He served in 11th Battalion London Regiment (Finsbury Rifles) and was killed at Gallipoli on 17th August 1915. His regimental number was 1779. He is commemorated on the Helles Memorial in Turkey. He was a sniper and I understand he was himself killed by a sniper bullet. I cannot verify the story but it is a story told by family members. Ernest was born in 1896. His brother Richard Walter Hancock (No. 1842/450294). Richard served in the same regiment as his brother, he was born in 1897 and survived the war, dying in Islington in 1960.
