Edward Charles Ellice

Captain Edward Charles Ellice (1 January 1858 – 21 February 1934)[1] was Liberal MP for St Andrews Burghs.

Ellice was commissioned in the Grenadier Guards in October 1877, and promoted to captain on 5 August 1886. Following the outbreak of the Second Boer War in late 1899, he joined Lord Lovat′s Corps as a captain of mounted infantry on 21 February 1900.[2] The corps was raised by Simon Fraser, 14th Lord Lovat and served in South Africa through the war.

He was elected at a by-election in 1903, but narrowly lost in 1906.

He was cousin and heir of Edward Ellice (1810–1880), a previous MP for the constituency.
