Notes
The Roll lists his address as 21 City Road, and is noted that he was entitled to the 1914 Star medal. It wrongly records that he died on 10/3/1915.
(CWGC records that Private Bertie Mitchell, regimental number 8969, died aged 25 on 14/3/1915 serving in D Company, 2nd Battalion of the Northamptonshire Regiment, and is commemorated on Le Touret Memorial in France. They record him as the son of the late William and Rebecca Mitchell of 21 City Road, Peterborough. The Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects likewise record that Bertie died on 14/3/1915; his father William was his legatee. The Medal Rolls record that he disembarked on 6/11/1914, and that he was killed in action 14/3/1915. On the 1901 census Bertie had been living with his parents at 25 St Mary's Street, Peterborough. By the 1911 census he was serving in Malta as a Private in the 2nd Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment; his parents were living at 19 City Road, Peterborough on that census. When Bertie's death was announced in the Peterborough Advertiser on 12/6/1915 it was stated that he had served six years in Egypt prior to embarking for France).
