Letter from Patrick Carey to William Edward Ellis regarding the death of his son Lieutenant James Graves Ellis (1887-1915). Lieutenant Ellis was serving as a member of The Royal Engineers when he killed in Gallipoli, Turkey. William Edward Ellis (1854-1926) was a trained barrister. However, in 1916 he was not practicing as a barrister but working as an auditor for the Local Government Board of Ireland. Patrick Carey (1853-1934) was the Union Clerk for the Killarney Poor Law Board of Guardians. Poor law unions and their workhouses were established by the Poor Law (Ireland) Act, 1838, as a response to widespread poverty, and were each governed by a Board of Guardians. This letter comes from the Killarney Poor Law Board of Guardians Minute Book.
