Many thanks Hillhurst for this speedy response, with its clear insights into the short military career of Fred Darvell. The Cumbrian west coast was proud of the successes of Millom Secondary School. In 1913 Fred W Darvell achieved 1st in 1st Class Honours, distinction in English, in the the Junior section of the Oxford Local Examination (Millom Gazette, 18 April 1913).
Fred encapsulates so much of what and how that generation responded to the challenge of war.
My thanks again.
