David Miller, remembered by his family and friends
My nephew David was a very lovable person and he is sadly missed but there are family and friends looking after him. God Bless David.

I would like to give you some infomation about Dusty Miller.
I served with Dusty on HMS ARK ROYAL I think.
He was the stoker on the Fearless landing craft and he was killed when it was bombed.
That landing craft came alongside the Antelope when we were bombed and rescued us, and along with the rest of the crew they put themselves in danger to get us off.
Once we were on HMS Fearless, Dusty made sure myself and another ex shipmate were ok and gave us more clothing as we only had the overalls we were dressed in, he also gave us some cash to keep us going.
It was with extreme shock that while I was on survivors leave I learnt of not only his death but the rest of the landing craft's crew, and that moment I read it in the Daily Mail will live with me for the rest of my life.
Long may he rest in peace, and I will never forget how he looked after both MEM Phil Philips and myself.
