BORN HULL 1876. MARRIED 1895. WIFE ELLEN MARY MILLER & 4 CHILDREN LIVED ABOVE. NO CWGC RECORD.
Hull Pals Memorial Post: PRIVATE JOHN MILLER 33420. Born in Hull and son of Thomas Miller, further details are hard to confirm owing to the sheer volume of men with that name, but we do know John served with the 11th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment and that he was fatally wounded during the fighting around Soyer Farm and died on 29th September 1918. He is buried in La Kreule Military Cemetery. It may not be much to go on, it may not adequately sum up the fragmented terror and desperation of a young man being shelled, shot at and gassed for his country while being ordered around sodden ditches in northern France by his ‘superiors’, but it’s enough to remember him by.
