A TRIBUTE OF LOVE AND HONOUR TO OUR DEAR BOY, RON, BY HIS LOVED ONES
Educated at Merrimee, Victoria, Ronald was interested in veterinary work, wireless making and repairing, Morse code and fond of of reading, music and was a member of the Glider's Club at Parafield. Prior to enlistment he had been empolyed at the Porducers' Grain Store at Croydon, and left there to enlist in June 1940.
MILLER, Ronald Allen.—Dearly loved grandson of Mrs. E. and the late Mr. G. Minor, of 45 West st., Brompton, and loved nephew of May and Eva.
Far away from those who loved him.
Comrades have laid him to rest;
In a hero's grave he is sleeping.
One of God's brightest and best.
MILLER.—Killed in action on July 27, Pte. Ronald Allen Miller, loving son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Miller.
Deep in our hearts a memory is kept
Of a dear loving face we will never forget.
