    His army records can be seen here. www.therooms.ca/regiment/soldier_files/Ellis_John_Joseph_... He was part of the original batch of volunteers that made up the regiment. He gave his home address as 359 South Side West, St John, the same address as his father, also a John Joseph. He enlisted on the 8th September 1914. He was single and gave his occupation as a Stone Mason. Army discipline was initially a problem - he has several periods of confined to barracks in England in the first half of 1915 for being absent from parade and dis-obeying orders. But there is nothing after he sailed with his regiment for Gallipoli, via Egypt, arriving at Suvla Bay on the night of the 19th/20th September 1915. On the 15th November 1915 he was seen at 26th Casualty Clearing Station at Suvla suffering from Jaundice and was medically evacuated to Alexandria. He was not fit until March by which time his unit were back in Egypt. He returned in time to travel with them to France, dis-embarking at Marseilles on the 22/03/1916. His indiscipline was behind him enough to be promoted to Lance Corporal on the 17th May 1916. On the 1st July he would be among the many "missing". In a letter dated 23rd November 1916, his parents were formally advised that the authorities were forced to conclude that John, like so many others from the province, were actually dead.

    This photograph was not taken from Signal Hill, as labelled, but rather from 'The Battery', which is below Signal Hill.

    It looks like the basilica is finished in this photo, that was around 1850 as far as I know
