A photo of Ernest Sankey. Ernest was in an artillery regiment. He was born in 1880 and died in 1957. Two family photos taken during the war (perhaps 1915/16) and a pendant.

One photo shows Millie Sankey with her three children: Doris on the left, Vera and Horace on the right. In this photo, Millie is wearing the pendant, which contains a photograph of her husband Ernest.

The photo of two men in military uniform is probably of Ernest (on the right). The other person is not known, but might possibly be one of Ernest's brothers.
