La Bassée
Captain Mills (Wellington College, Berkshire, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst) was wounded in World War I at La Bassée and wrote a pair of books, his first, about that experience: "With My Regiment: From the Aisne to La Bassée" (J. B. Lippincott &amp; Co.: Philadelphia, 1916) and "Hospital Days" (T. Fisher Unwin: London, 1916) under the pseudonym Platoon Commander. At his wedding to Lady Dorthy Walpole in 1916, her wedding ring was made from a bullet that had been surgically removed from his ankle.
