Ernest Godwin Farrell was born in Kimeridge Wareham, Dorset, on 11 July 1875. He married Mary Agnes Kennefick on 9 February 1903 in Rangoon and is recorded in 1911 as serving as C.Q.M.S. with No. 84 Company, Royal Garrison Artillery. Awarded the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal with gratuity in October 1912, he later received the 1914-15 Star as Third Class Master Gunner and was subsequently appointed to a commission on 6 March 1915. His MIC confirms entitlement to MID emblem and somewhat unusually notes ‘no date of disembarkation’.
