Ernest served overseas with 1/6th Bttn from 17/8/1915 and was discharged 13/12/1917.  He died from Heart disease on 30/09/1920.  His (unmarried) widow Edith Stubbs received pension awards.  New Eccles Road, Salford and later 6 Shenlow? Street.
There's no indication of the hearts disease being related to his service, other than Edith receiving a Pension. 
One of the Pension Cards mentions 28th Bttn, which I hadn't heard of previously.
Following one Platoon and everything around them....
