Cyril Arthur's story
His mother had opened the new church building in 1922, and dedicated the bells as a war memorial in 1925.
Also served in Gallipolli. Buried in Ancre British Cemetery, Beaumont-Hamel, France.
His brother Percy was also killed in the war.
He is remmbered on the Mill Hill School memorial www.millhillatwar.org.uk from which this is taken: An officer who knew him well wrote:-“I met him out here shortly after he landed from Gallipoli. He was his old cheery self, but yet I noticed a difference. He had become more serious and responsible looking, and as we talked and laughed over the good old tennis days, he struck me as a Boy who knew what he might have to go through, but had made up his mind to go through with it with a brave and stout heart and a cheery face. He did.”
