Notes

  • According to the British National Archives' DocumentsOnline, Ralph served as a private in the Army Service Corps from 1914 to 1920.

    According to his son, Alex Pelican, Ralph learned the trade of motor mechanic before the war started and was accepted for the dispatch riding unit with the early motor cycles. He served  the whole war through as a rider for HQ staff and told stories of how he would wait for the enemy shelling to cease while they brought up supplies and then drive at full throttle along that road before the shelling started again.8
