Pre War
Son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Brown, of 34, Cranbourne Rd., Stratford, London; husband of Minnie F. Brown, of 176, Union Rd., Leytonstone, London.
Ernest was born about 1887 probably in London. He has proved difficult to find because of his fairly common name, but he appears on the absent voters list of autumn 1918 for the Parish of Wormley, when he was living at Wormley West End.
Wartime Service
Ernest is another tragic fatality of the war as he died from influenza two days after the Armistice on 13 November 1918,
He is buried at the Chela Kula Military Cemetery, at Nis in Serbia. At the time of his death he was with the 688th Motor Transport Company of the Army Service Corps.
