Pte. Thomas "Mitch" Mitchell
British Army 18th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:West Hartlepool
My grandfather Private Thomas "Mitch" Mitchell was born in 1895 and enlisted on 3rd September 1914 when he was 18 years old. He served with the Durham Light Infantry as part of the Machine Gun Corps. He served for 4 years and 164 days followed by 1 year and 201 days with the Army Reserves. Something must have happened to him late in 1918 as he ended up at the Military Hospital at Colchester and was released from there in January 1919 having been sick and wounded. He was demobilised on 14th February 1919.
This information comes from documents found after the death of my Mother, his daughter.
