Rflmn. Charles Clarence Mills
British Army 18th (London Irish Rifles) Btn. London Regiment
from:Kingsley Green , Haslemere, Surrey
(d.2nd Sep 1918)
Charles Mills was my father's best friend & second cousin. My father received news of his death while also serving on the Somme. His younger brother, unable to serve, due to medical conditions, had to give up his hopes of a career in teaching to enter the family bakery business in order to support the rest of the family.
Editor's Note:- Charles Clarence Mills had previously served in both the 5th and the 8th Battalions of the London Regiment.
At the time of his death, the 12th Battalion were involved in the 2nd Battle of Bapaume. He is interred in the Heilly Station Cemetery at Merricourt-L'Abbe.
