. John Charles Trueman Mills is referred to in the Mills family papers as the Major John Charles Trueman Mills (1900-1975) who made an annuity provision for his aunt Constance Mary Pilkington. He married twice. His first wife was Idina Joan Myddleton, and they were married on 25 th July 1922 in Chelsea. Born in 1899, Idina was a daughter of Colonel Robert Edward Myddelton and Lady Violet Nevill. Apart from her prowess in riding to hounds, and golf, during the Second World War she was head of the Channel Islands Section of the British Red Cross Foreign Relations department from 1939 to 1946. From the day after the news reached London of the German occupati on of the Channel Islands until the armistice and the numerous refugees had safely regained touch with their homes, ‘Idy’ Mills organised the dispatch of thousands of Red Cross enquiries from friends and relations of the Channel Islanders. Her section, made up largely of her personal friends, was responsible not only for inquiries but also for the dispatch of hundreds of thousands of Red Cross postal messages. John and Idina were divorced in 1947 and John then married Ida Betty Selby Low
