7191 Private H. Millar, Volunteer Company 2nd Battalion Middlesex Regiment, died of disease at Newcastle on 24 January 1901. His name is recorded on the memorial plaque in the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral. On both the plaque and the published casualty roll his name is spelt ‘Miller’. With copied roll extracts confirming clasps. Note: ‘Cape Colony’ was a late award to the regiment and the clasp is often found out of place.
