224720 Pte. Sidney Mitchell British Army 6th Btn. Durham Light Infantry from:Hull, Yorkshire Private Sidney Mitchell’s six-digit regimental number falls within a group allocated to new recruits of the 1/6th Battalion Durham Light Infantry during the first week of March 1917. His birthday fell in late April, so it is fair to say he enlisted close to his birthday. He was wounded in his upper right back by grenade and had lung damage because he was gassed. He also had a machine gun wound in his ankle and shrapnel in his abdomen. He was transferred to the Labour Corps in July 1918, as the date fits with when his additional regimental number (631581) was issued. He served his final war days out with the 12th Labour Corps in France until demobbed.
