James Miller   19288  Royal Scots Fusiliers

DUNDEE SOLDIER DIES OF WOUNDS.

Mr Miller, 248 Hilltown, Dundee, has been informed of the death of her son, Private James Miller, Royal Scots Fusiliers.  The sad news was conveyed to her by the Rev. R. F. Wearmouth, the chaplain who stated that the soldier died of wounds on the 15th curt.  “Your son.” The chaplain stated in a message of condolence, “has died for his country, and that sacrifice must one day produce the fruits of liberty and righteousness.”

Private Miller, who was 20 years of age at the time of his death, enlisted over a year ago, and had been in France for four-and-a-half months.  Before joining he was employed as an oiler in a Dundee jute manufacturing establishment.  Another son of Mrs Miller, who is a widow, is in the Dundee detachment of the Royal Field Artillery.
