Remembered at Berlin South-Western Cemetery, Germany
In 1922–23 it was decided that the graves of Commonwealth servicemen who had died all over Germany should be brought together into four permanent cemeteries. Berlin South-Western was one of those chosen and in 1924-25, graves were brought into the cemetery from more than 140 burial grounds in eastern Germany.

Brother of William Alexander Milnes.

In 1911 Frederick Milnes, 22 and single, was serving as a private with the 12 Royal Lancers in Potchefstroom, Transvaal, South Africa.
