Biography
Arthur Ellis was one of three brothers from Abbots Langley that served in the Great War. He was born on 10th February 1883, one of seven sons and one daughter born to John and Janette (Jesse) Ellis. John was employed as a House Painter and the family lived at Breakspeare Road, Abbots Langley.
Arthur was first listed in the Abbots Langley Parish Magazine Roll of Honour in November 1915, serving with the Army Ordnance Corps. He was regularly listed in the Roll of Honour throughout the War, and at some point in 1917 transferred to the Army Service Corps.
Arthur survived the War, as did his brother John. However his brother Percy, who had emigrated to Canada returned with the Canadian Expeditionary Force and was killed in action at Passchendaele on 30th October 1917.
