Dick Ellis
Charles Howard Ellis (1895–1975), better known as Dick Ellis, was an Australian-born British intelligence officer, who is alleged to have also been a double agent for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. According to Nigel West the SIS believed that Ellis had been a Nazi spy.〔Nigel West, ''ELLIS, DICK'', ''Dictionary of British Intelligence''.〕 Ellis was accused by Chapman Pincher of being a traitor. During the 1980s, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's refusal to confirm or deny Pincher's allegation caused distress to the Ellis family.〔H. Montgomery Hyde, Letters:"Security risks" ''The Times'', 27 April 1981〕〔Stewart Tendler, "Mrs Thatcher refuses to comment on man named as spy", ''The Times'', 22 April 1981〕
Ellis was born in Sydney, to parents who had emigrated from Devon and spent his early life in Melbourne and Tasmania. In 1914, he travelled to England, intending to study at Oxford University.
==Military service==
Following the outbreak of the First World War (1914–18), Dick Ellis enlisted as a Private in the Territorial Force, and became part of the 100th Provisional Battalion, which later was renamed the 29th (CITY of LONDON) Battalion. He saw action on the Western Front and was wounded three times, before being commissioned as an officer in September 1917.〔Cain, Frank, '(Ellis, Charles Howard (Dick) (1895–1975) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, accessed 4 April 2012.〕 In 1918, he transferred to the Intelligence Corps and there served for several months, before the Armistice of 11 November 1918. In 1919, Ellis then was sent to Transcaspia, as part of the Malleson mission against the Bolsheviks in Turkmenistan; and he participated in the Afghan War of 1919; that same years, Dick Ellis was awarded the OBE (military) for being a good soldier.〔Mr C. H. Ellis (Obituaries) ''The Times'' 16 July 1975.〕
