Lieutenant A.A. Miller enrolled in the 48th Highlanders in 1901. With war in Europe, then Major Miller joined the 134th Battalion [48th Highlanders] at its organization in November 1915. In July 1916 he succeeded in commanding the 134th Battalion upon LCol Donald’s retirement due to illness. In August the battalion embarked at Halifax and headed overseas. In January 1917 while training in England the battalion became part of the 5th Canadian Division. A year later the 5th Division was broken up to form reinforcement drafts. LCol Miller transferred to the 19th Battalion and was killed-in-action.
He was my grandfather and we saved many artifacts. Some will be used in an event on Nov. 11.
