During
World War One Ernest served with the 13th Devon Regiment.
As a country worker he was familiar with horses, so
he was assigned to work with the 'Remount Horses', five
or six miles behind 'the front' during the war. When
an officer at the front or a gun carriage lost a horse.
Ernest had to bring one up to replace it, thus the name
remounts. He saw action in a number of battles including
the Somme. Ernest actually joined up under age because
he added an extra year to his age to enable him to enlist.
His Army record shows he was a private at General Service
from 14th August 1916. He then moved to Army Reserve
on 15th September 1916 before being mobilised on 23rd
April 1917. He was posted on 13th December 1917, and
then was transferred on 8th April 1917 before again
being posted on 19th August 1917. He was discharged
having suffered an accident when a machine crushed his
left had in 1817. His army pension notes show that he
had four fingers amputated. The injury happened in Bristol,
not whilst he was on active military service. His medical
report shows that he was stationed at Eggbuckland, Plymouth
in in January 1918. He was discharged as no longer
physically fit for war service on 18th February 1918. |
