(d.18th Oct 1918)
Ernest Ashton was born on 3rd August 1894. He volunteered for service in 1916 but at that time was a miner so was in a reserved occupation. He received his call up in July of 1918 and, after training, sailed to France on 4th October 1918. On the 17th of October an attack was made on the retreating Germans where he was mortally wounded. He died of his wounds on the 18th of October 1918 and is buried in the communal cemetery extension at Fresnoy-le-Grande.
In 2014, after researching my family history, I visited his final resting place and placed a photograph of him by his headstone so he would be remembered. I was the first member of his blood relatives to be able to make that journey and it was a very humbling experience but at least now he is not forgotten.

This is an enquiry as I have been trying to research my Great Grandfather’s War record (what he did, where he went, did he take part in any battles) for 2 years now and seem to be getting nowhere. I am getting old now and only me in my family seems to be interested in finding out. The following two addresses are the only details I have and I know for sure that my Great Grandfather was in Germany at the end of WW1. E. COY. 3rd K.O.Y.L.I. No 9 Hut HEDEN Racecourse. Nr. HULL and 5th K.O.Y.L.I. No.6 Con CAMP. N. Coy. B.E.F. FRANCE. Please could someone help and tell me some history? I have researched in the National Archive, read books etc, but I still cannot figure the history of these Battallions. There is a family rumour that Sam was a sniper but i am not sure at all about this.
