Jack Mills (1 September 1905 – 28 February 1970〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=onsdeath93&so=2&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&MS_AdvCB=1&rank=1&new=1&MSAV=2&msT=1&gss=angs-g&gsfn=jack&gsfn_x=1&gsln=mills&gsln_x=1&msddy=1970&msddy_x=1&cpxt=1&catBucket=rstp&uidh=000&cp=11 )〕) was the driver of the train that was robbed in the Great Train Robbery in 1963.
== Great Train Robbery ==
He boarded the train at the driver change-over at Crewe station, his home town, in Cheshire, on the train's journey to London Euston station, a journey that would take the train through Buckinghamshire, where the gang of robbers were waiting for it. There, Mills approached the set of two signals that were normally both green. The robbers had, however, changed the first set of signals to yellow, warning the driver to slow down, and the second set to red, telling the driver to stop the train. He stopped, and soon after the robbers launched their robbery. When they got into the cab of the locomotive, they attacked Mills with an iron bar, and he suffered a black eye and facial bruising. He was handcuffed to the train's second man, David Whitby, in the locomotive's engine compartment. After the robbery, Mills was taken to the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital in Aylesbury, where he and his second man had to wait for a free police officer to remove the handcuffs.〔(Flashback: The Great Train Robbery ), ''BBC News Online'', 3 May 2001〕〔(The crime of the century )〕
