Chailey Parish Magazine does not have much to say about Albert Still.  In January 1918 it notes, Still, Private A, Labour Corps and this information is repeated monthly up to the final entry in July 1919.

The National Archives in London notes only one A Still in The Labour Corps and that is 429542 Private Albert Still.

Albert was born at Lindfield, Sussex around 1887 but by the time the 1901 census was taken, was living at North Common, Chailey. Albert Still (37), headed the family and gave his trade as an ordinary agricultural labourer.  The rest of the family comprised Albert’s 37 year old wife Fanny and their eight children: Alice (aged 15 and working as a laundry maid), Albert (aged 13, working as a telegraph boy), Alfred (12), Arthur (nine), Daisy Maud (seven), Edward (seven), Ernest (four) and George Henry (nine months).

Four of Albert’s five brothers: Arthur Still, Edward Still, Ernest Still and George Henry Still, also served their King and Country during the First World War.
