Morpeth Herald 03/03/1916 carries a brief obituary:
LOCAL SOLDIER KILLED IN ACTION
Referring to the death of Trooper [sic] J.A. Miller, 14th Hussars, the second son of the late Michael Miller, blacksmith, Morpeth, Capt. E.J. Bridges, commanding C Squadron, writes to Mrs J. White, of Newcastle, as follows:-
“I write with very great regret to inform you that he was killed on December 1, [sic] 1915. He was shot low down in the body by a bullet and died shortly after, painlessly. The regiment was under pretty heavy fire at the time.
“Pte, Miller was a most excellent young soldier, of good character, and a credit to himself and to his regiment.
“His death in action is a sincere loss to his regiment and to the squadron I have the honour to command.
“Should he have any other relations living, I beg that you will inform them that he died doing his duty, and that his name will be placed on a roll of memorial which will doubtless be raised at some future date to those of the regiment who have fallen in this war”.
He is remembered in Morpeth on M17.01, M17.09 and M17.29 and as Miller, John George on M17.29
