Pte. Matthew Miller
British Army 6th Btn Cameron Highlanders
from:Glasgow, Scotland
Matthew Miller was my Grandfather, and I have learned from service records that he enlisted at the age of 19 and served with the 6th Cameron Highlanders.
He was wounded in France in August 1916, and was one of the very lucky ones to survive. Seeing so many fellow servicemen die must never leave you. When re-posted Matthew was sent to the Salonika Campaign, where he contracted malaria. This may have been with the 3rd Cameron Highlanders.
Reading the other profiles here, I am now wondering if my father Douglas was named after the commander listed here. There is no one named Douglas in 200 years of our family tree. I think I may have found his name sake.
