214990 Pte. Arthur Millen British Army 22nd Btn. London Regiment from:Bermondsey (d.8th Jul 1915) My great uncle was Arthur Millen, born in Rainham in 1896. He moved to London in 1905 and lived in Dennets Road, New Cross. Arthur enlisted in the 22nd London Regiment in 1914 and was in training in St. Albans when the war broke out. Prior to leaving for France, Arthur married Ethell Newland from Bermondsey who was carrying the child he would never see. He arrived in Le Havre in March 1915. Arthur was killed on the 8th July 1915, aged 19 According to the War Diarys Arthur was laying a communication trench when he was killed. He is buried in Fosse 7 War Cemetery in Mazengarbe. We visited his grave in 2011 to pay our respects. As we approach the anniversary of the great war we should reflect on the sacrifice Arthur and the millions of others who layed down there lives for this country.
