From Germany

"Dusty" Miller Repatriated From Germany

Right-Lieutenant G. E. (“Dusty”)

Miller, of Samarai, who has flickered in and out of “PIM” pages since he enlisted in June, 1940, was among prison ers of war who recently returned to Bri tain from Germany.

“Dusty” Miller was one of the exuber ant young Territorians who in May, 1940, sent a telegram to the new Prime Minis

ter of Britain, Winston Churchill: “Con gratulations. Hold fast. We are coming.”

He and eight other young men from Misima, Papua, then enlisted—“ Dusty” in the RAAF.

In early 1943 he was reported killed in action over Germany, but later advice from his father, Mr. G. Miller, of Towns ville, stated that he was a prisoner of war in Germany. He had been a member of the crew of a Halifax bomber that was shot down in flames. Flight-Lieutenant Miller landed in the sea, and he and his crew were subsequently picked up by a German warship.

At the time it was reported that Miller had got out “without a scratch.” But, judging from the fact that he has been repatriated from Germany, this seems hardly possible.
