War Service
During the journey to England he disembarked in Suez and was attached to a base unit while waiting for transport to England. Sent by train to Alexandria, he again boarded the HMAT A16 Port Melbourne this time for England, on 10 Jul 1918. However he became ill and was off loaded from the Port Darwin to hospital in Faenza on Italy's East coast on 11 Jul 1918. He continued to England after he had recovered.
When he arrived in England he was posted to the 5th Training Battalion at Rollestone on 20 Aug 1918. His records don't show any service beyond the Training Battalion. Ernest was discharged by the 5th Military District on 10 Dec 1919.
