Further Information About ELLIS Rowland Edgar

Appears on the Army casualties list for Worcestershire.

A letter from H.J. Winnington, Honorary Secretary of PCC, St James Church, Wollaston dated 17th December 1950 can be found within war records held at Worcestershire Archives requesting that Fusilier/Driver Rowland E. Ellis, Royal Northumberland Fusiliers be added to the county roll of honour.

The following information has been researched and transcribed by The Black Country Society:
Rowland Ellis lived at 21 Vicarage Road, Wollaston, and enlisted in the Northumberland Fusiliers. When the war in Italy came to an end, he was part of the army of occupation. There was less fear of the Italians than of the Soviet occupation of Austria and his battalion was stationed in the area north of Venice close to the frontier. Fusilier Rowland Ellis died either of disease or in an accident on the 9th February 1946.
