Biography
The following text was transcribed from The Edmundian (1814-1819) – The contemporary magazine of St Edmund’s College:
After leaving St. Edmund's, where, during their stay here, 1904-1908, the Millers seemed part and parcel of our life, Bertram Miller went to School in Bruges. Thence he went to Edinburgh University, where be studied medicine for two years. In September of 1914, just one month after the outbreak of war, he began his service as a Trooper in the Scottish Horse Yeomanry. In his desire to attack work which was more to the purpose, at the front, he joined, as Corporal, the Special Battalion of the Royal Engineers, in which Regiment he was soon after gazetted, Ile saw some eighteen months service with the Engineers, after which time he was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, here within the short period of six weeks he was qualified as an observer. He met his death as the result of an accident while lying in Kent.
Edmundians, we speak confidently for all his many friends, will extend their deep sympathy to his mother and brothers, in this their grievous loss.
