Ernest was shot in the leg by sentries in a holding camp in Matlock returning from a night out.
He died from shock after having his leg amputated...
My mother was never compensated and never received a war widows pension. according to my mother.The camp was cleared and a cover up put in place.
He is buried in handsworth cemetery war grave.
As far as I know at this time there are two brothers and a sister still living.
