Wagoner. Ernest Fuller
British Army 330th Horse Transport Company Army Service Corps
from:Bromeswell, Suffolk
My great uncle, Ernest Fuller, was in the ASC 34 (3 Reserve Park) from 6th of August 1914 until 1st of January 1915. He was a farm worker recruited as a Wolds Wagoner by Sir Mark Sykes 6th Baronet of Sledmere and enlisted as a special reservist on 2nd January 1914 at Fridaythorpe in East Yorkshire.
There is a small museum to the Wolds Wagoners in Sledmere. The War Diaries of No 3 Reserve Park are available from the National Archives. The Wolds Wagoners were civilian wagon drivers and were sent to France in August 1914, with no training, immediately taking part in the retreat from Mons.
