Sam Ellis (buckley Flintshire ww1)

Description

Pte Ellis was 21 years of age and worked at the Elm Colliery before he enlisted. He was a Sunday School Scholar of the Congregational Church where a memorial service will be held. He was respected by his fellow scholars and he was equally respected by his comrades in France and, as the writer of the sad news said, "he cared for nothing in the way of warfare". The memorial service was held last Sunday at the Congregational Church. The Rev D. Evans (Pastor) preached a powerful sermon. The service was impressive throughout. After the sermon the hymn, "God Bless Our Native Land" and the National Anthem were sung and after the Benediction and Vesper Hymn the organist (Mr. John Davies) played the Dead March, the congregation standing'.
