Pte. Archibald Mills
British Army 8th Btn. Machine Gun Corps
from:Stenhousemuir
I have very few memories of my grandfather, Archibald Mills. When he died I was given mementoes of him. I was 3 years old so did not hold any interest. As an adult I started to wonder how he has survived WWI. I knew he had served in the Argyll & Southern Highlanders as I had his dog tag. I also had an other dog tag with MGC stamped on it. To cut the story to the end, I found out from Machine Gun Corps records he had been compulsorily transferred to the MGC. He was taken prisoner during the spring offensive March 1918 and was at Gustrow Camp until his release. No one in the family knew this and I feel my search has only stared to get to know him.
