While researching the Sherwood family and finding Victor Earl Sherwood 1894-1916 I noticed his younger brother Ernest Frank Sherwood born in 1900 had died in 1941. The records state that he was killed on active service. He is buried in Nelson so was not presumably killed overseas. Ernest was married with a young family and must have been close to the age limit for service. Regardless -he lost his life -like his older brother -serving his country. His loss must have been devastating not only for his wife and children but also for his parents.
Rest in peace Ernest -you are still remembered.
