On 13th Aug 1890. He originally enlisted at Middlesborough on 4th Sept. 1914. A commercial clerk by trade, he was 24 years old at enlistment. He was initially posted as a private in the Cavalry of the Line (Hussars),and posted to the 10th Reserve Regiment of Cavalry on 15th Sept 1914. He transferred to the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion Royal Irish Regiment on 2nd June 1915, and was posted  for service with the 2nd Batt. Royal Irish Regt.on 28th June 1915. He first saw active service in France as 8473 Pte. 2nd Batt. Royal Irish Regt., entering theatre of operations on 29th June1915. He joined the 2nd Batt in the field on 4th July 1915 (the 2nd had originallylandedat Boulogne from Devonport on 14th Aug 1914). He was promoted to Lance-Corp on 30th July 1915. Mitcheson was of the Somme (Battle of Albert, 1st-5th July 1916). The regimental history records that "on the night of the 5th-6th the 2nd R.Ir.R and the 1st Welsh Fusiliers were ordered to attack Quadrangle Trench, Wood Trench and the south corner of Mametz Wood, with the 1st Royal Warwicks in support at Bottom Wood. The attack was commenced at 10.15pm under a heavy barrage from our guns. C Company, under Capt Bell, with A Company in support, attacked Wood Trench. Capt P.J.S. Gordon-Ralph, with the Grenade Company, again attacked Strip Trench. B Company on their right formed a defensive flank. D Company was in battalion reserve. The Fusiliers on the left attacked Quadrangle Trench. Shortly after the Grenade Company got into Strip Trench, Capt Gordon-Ralph was wounded in the neck, but held on until he became unconscious. Lt. Pike, who succeeded him, led two attacks on Mametz Wood and again entered it, only to be driven out by fierce bombing counter-attacks.. .. .. Meanwhile, C Company had reached the wire in front of Wood Trench in less than ten minutes. The wire was found not cut, and being extremely thick could not be penetrated. Cpt. R.W.P. Bell and Lt. E.R.K. White were killed inside the wire and the Company suffered severely, being exposed to heavy point-blank fire. They were ordered to retire fifty yards to the cover of a fold in the ground, where they were soon joined by A Company under H.J.M. O'Reilly. Three times between midnight and dawn Capt O'Reilly attacked Wood Trench in the most gallant manner, but each time was held up by the German wire, which proved an insurmountable obstacle.On the left the Royal Welsh Fusiliers captured Quadrangle Trench, but were unable to assist the Royal Irish, as Quadrangle Trench did not join up with Wood Trench.At 3.30am the 22nd Brigade ordered the battalion to retire to Mansel Copse.. .. ,, The battalion casualties from 1st-6th July were: officers killed 3; wounded 8; missing 1; men killed 21; wounded 158; missing 36. The chaplain, the Rev. W. Fitzmaurice, distinguished himself by rescuing wounded under heavy fire, and Srgt-Mjr Carew did very good work getting up ammunition. "Mitcheson was admitted to the 23rd Field Ambulance on 5th July 1916 with a gunshot wound to the shoulder and transferredto the 1st Consolidation Depot on the following day for evacuation to England. He was posted back to the depot 8th July 1916 to recover from his wound and remained at home until 23rd April 1917, (whilst recuperating Mitcheson was deprived of his Lance-Crpl. Stripe and reverted to Private on 17th Jan. 1917). Upon recovering from his wound Mitcheson was posted for service in France with the British Expeditionary Force on 24th April 1917, and rejoined the 2nd Batt. R.Ir.R. in the field on 27th April. Mitcheson regained his Lance-Cprl stripe on 16th June 1917, and remained in France until he was posted back to the depot on 23rd Aug. 1917. Subsequently, he was selected for officer training, being admitted to the No.7 Officer Cadet Batt. (3) Extremely fine

The object of the expedition was to open a passage for ships through the Straits of Helles into the Sea of Marmora and on through the Bosphorus at Constantinople into the Black Sea, thus enabling Russia to export the grain needed by the Allies and to import munitions of war. In August it moved round with the rest of the 29th Division to Suvla Bay, where a new landing by five fresh divisions from England had been brought to a standstill. In a final effort here the 29th put in a most gallant through unsuccesful attack on Scimitar Hill, in which the battalion suffered nearly 300 casualties.

Williams, Boy 1, R.N. Royal Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, Geo V, to J.94618 J. C. R. Williams, L.S., H.M.S. Comorant. John Charles Reginald Williams was born on 21st Feb 1903, from Weymouth, Dorset, enlisted on 21st Feb 1919, strangely he transferred to the New Zealand Navy for 3 years (21st Oct 1925 to 26th Aug 1928 then back to RN as a Leading Seaman), the papers go up to 1st Jan 1929 then the service details are transferred to an unavailable file. He died on 14 April 1940 (with the same service number) while serving aboard the destroyer H.M.S. Kimberley which was attacked by shore gunfire - most probably as a result of wounds received in the fierce engagement at Narvik the previous day. There were 5 casualties reported for this Battle to the Ship Kimberley. He left a widow, Amy, a resident of Torquay, Devon, has no known grave, and is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial. His lsgc awarded on 10/6/36, The Battles of Narvik were fought from 9 April until 8 June 1940, as a naval battle in the Ofotfjord (the Narvik fiord), 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and as a land battle in the mountains surrounding the north Norwegian city of Narvik. The two naval battles in the Ofotfjord on 10 April and 13 April were fought between the British Royal Navy and the German Kriegsmarine, while the two-month land campaign was fought between Norwegian, French, British, and Polish troops against German and Austrian mountain troops, shipwrecked Kriegsmarine sailors and German Fallschirmjäger from 1st battalion of the 1st Regiment, 7th Flieger Division. Narvik provided an ice-free harbour in the North Atlantic for iron ore transported by the railway from Kiruna in Sweden. Both sides in the war had an interest in securing this iron supply for themselves and denying it to the enemy, setting the stage for one of the first large-scale battles during the Second World War, since the invasion of Poland. Prior to the German invasion, British forces had considered Narvik as a possible landing point for an expedition to help Finland in the Winter War. Such an expedition might also take control over the Swedish mines and open up the Baltic for the Allies. French politicians were also eager to start a second front as far away from France as possible. There are no WW2 medals with the group but most likely he would have got 1939 star and war medal. Medals are mounted as worn, edge bruising and polished, otherwise Nearly very fine
