Pte. Harry Mullins

British Army 1st/6th Btn. Cheshire Regiment

from:Mount Street, Hyde, Cheshire

(d.13th Nov 1916)

Harry Mullins enlisted underage when he was 15 years old and still a schoolboy. He'd had a minor skirmish with the Law and was told they would forget it as long as he joined a club such as the Boys Brigade or the Scout Movement and kept out of further trouble. Harry decided that he'd enlist instead. His mother tried to get him sent home as he was underage but because he'd been on the front line for a while and was deemed an excellent soldier they decided that he'd be staying put. Harry died on Monday 13th of November 1916 in France, aged 18. He is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial, Somme, France.
