Charles Biron Minter was one <strong>of</strong> the oldest <strong>of</strong> Old Boys, as he was at the <strong>School</strong> in the early days <strong>of</strong> its<br />

existence. On the outbreak <strong>of</strong> war he rejoined his old regiment, the London Scottish, as a private, but was<br />

soon promoted to sergeant, and was employed in training recruits. He was subsequently commissioned<br />

to the 3/7th Batt. <strong>of</strong> the Middlesex Regiment, and went to Barnet for training. After doing captain’s<br />

work for some time he was gazetted to that rank, and was placed in charge <strong>of</strong> “C” Company.<br />

While at Windsor with the battalion he contracted a chill, and had to take sick leave.<br />

His death occurred after an illness <strong>of</strong> five weeks, following repeated attacks <strong>of</strong> influenza.<br />

Captain Minter, who in private life held the post <strong>of</strong> assistant town clerk to the Borough <strong>of</strong> Marylebone, was an<br />

all-round athlete. He was a very good singer, and also met with no mean success as a song-writer, two <strong>of</strong> his<br />

latest works being “Who’s for this Flag?” and “<strong>The</strong> Indian Soldier.” He died, aged 35, on 27 June, 1915 and<br />

was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium. His ashes are in niche 1564.
