| | CORP. THOMAS P. MILLER
Serial No. 2.026,190
Brant, Mich
Corporal Miller came into our organization early in the history of the Battery. He was appointed a cannoneer and acted as gunnery Corporal throughout our activities at the Puvenelle, Montauville and Tautecourt positions.
While on board H. M. S. the Mauretania, he exhibited his amicable though combative spirit. The decks were very crowded and things monotonous, and the Corporal must have felt this, so he proceeded to pitch the medicine ball around the deck and had the men dodging. He was fond of sparring matches, in which he could measure up as a formidable opponent.
He was a man who could enforce discipline without using his rank as the means to get attention.
His particular work was hazardous, but throughout his service he was consistently a good gunner and a very efficient soldier.
Of medium height and possessed of great strength, with a temperament of the moderate type, which gave him a disposition of even keel.
While he served in France as a first-class Private, his work and duties were that of Corporal. which rank he was given on his return to America at Camp Mills. |
