Born in 1899, Sidney was the son of Charles and Emily, both members of the Chesterton Chapel. They lived at 31 George Street, Chesterton. After enlisting at Cambridge, Sidney was private No.41487 in the 6th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment. The Regiment had been in France and Flanders since the early part of the war, so Sidney would have been sent to bring the Battalion up to strength. We have no record of when he went to France, although there is some thought that he gave a false age on enlistment. At the end of 1917 the Bedfordshires were back in the Ypres area and we can only assume that it was during this period that Stanley was wounded. His wounds were treated at the main clearing hospital and Corps. H.Q. at Bailleul which is on the French/Belgian border. He died of wounds on 23rd January 1918, aged 19. Sidney's grave is the Bailleul Communal Cemetery ext., plot 3, row E, grave 1. The cemetery contains 3411 Commonwealth, German and Chinese labour corps. graves.

A report of Sidney's death as a result of wounds appears in the official list of casualties in the Cambridge Daily News of Saturday 23rd February 1918.

Private Miller (who was 30 years of age, and leaves a widow and one child) was one of the original few who joined the Cambridge Branch on its inception nine years ago. He had always been one of its most respected and enthusiastic members and held office both as president and vice-president. He was home on leave only a few weeks before his death, and was looking forward eagerly to renew his acquaintance with the branch and its activities. Private Miller was employed as a compositor at Messrs. W. Heifer and Sons, and he will be greatly missed by all the members of the staff, with whom he was deservedly popular. He joined the colours under the Derby scheme in September, 1916, and had been in France about 15 months at the time of his death.
