Match Report
Source Notes
Lt Col Robert Herbert Mills-Roberts FRCS (Edinburgh) CMG TD and later JP, who commanded the 131st Field Ambulance, had a particularly interesting career.
As the senior Field Ambulance commander of the Welsh Division he often acted for the ADMS when the latter was on leave. A Welsh international footballer, Mills-Roberts kept goal for Preston North End in the season in which they lost no matches and conceded no goals in the final. (Not until 2004 was this unbeaten performance equalled by Arsenal FC.) Author of several medical papers, he was surgeon of the Dinorwic Hospital and Quarries before the War and Deputy Commissioner for Medical Services in North Wales and Shropshire afterwards.
He had served with the Welsh Hospital in South Africa and later, from 1906 to 1915, was second-in-command of the 6th Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He then reverted to a medical role, commanding first the 131st FA and later the 41st Stationary Hospital. In having experience of both fighting and medical units, Mills-Roberts resembled Lt Col John McCrae RCAMC, author of the well-.known poem 'In Flanders Fields'. - the citizens choice
