Gunner Mill joined the Royal Garrison Artillery, Territorials, in 1912 and was mobilised on the 4th August 1914 and attached to the North Scottish R.G.A. He was stationed for a time at Broughty Ferry, and served for a year in France, where he was  killed during a heavy bombardment at Berles au Bois by a shell entering the cellar where he was sheltering. His Major wrote:- “He was one of the most hard working and quiet men in the battery. He was under me at Broughty Ferry, where he helped well both on the guns and in the mess, and in France he helped in many ways, latterly looking after the men’s messing. His work at the front was excellent, and he always did his best.” Arbroath Roll of Honour page 94.
