Pte. William Mills
British Army 8th Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)
from:Glasgow
(d.28th June 1915)
William Mills enlisted in the Cameronians rather than in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, in which his father was serving, because he was underage. Although his age at death is given as 18, I believe he was only 17. He entered the conflict at Gallipolli on the 14th of June 1915 and only survived for two weeks. He is remembered at the Helles Memorial in Turkey.
