Notes Scouting Thanks Badge awarded to Ernest William Welch in 1960 Ernest William Welch, born in Howick in 1897, was working as a ploughman at the Rissington Station, Hawkes Bay before enlisting for military service as a Private with the Otago Infantry Regiment at the age of 20. He embarked from Wellington with the 28th Reinforcements, F Company, aboard the HMNZT 89 (Waitemata), destination Plymouth, England arriving 24 September 1917. During his service on the Western Front Ernie Welch narrowly escaped death when his shaving kit, carried in his breast pocket stopped the impact of a piece of shrapnel. During his service he also suffered from measles, scabies, influenza, bronchitis and gassing resulting in the loss of one lung. Ernest Welch had a significant involvement with the scouting movement before and after the war and this is mentioned in his his obituary. Other members of the Welch family are represented in the Museum's collections including Memorial Plaques and medals belonging to three of his cousins who were killed in action during WW1.
