THE LATE MR MILLER.

MEMORIAL PORTRAIT AT A RAPE 11 During an interval in a function at the Y.M.C.A. hut at Arapeti on Wednesday, Mr Finlayson came forward, and in a. neat little speech asked Mr Hughes (national secretary of the Y.M.C.A.), to accept the custody of a large framed enlargement of the lata Mr Miller as long as the Y.M.C.A. was in Arapeti, and then to pass on the same to till P.W.D. head office, Wellington. Mr Hughes, in accepting the gilt, drew' attention to the great help rendered to the social life anrT entertainment of the camp by the late Engineer, and suitably acknowledged the assistance he had given in ’the establishment of the present. recreation scheme. The photograph was then hung in a prominent place in .the Hut, and bears the following inscription: “William Robert Miller, Engineer in Charge of Arapeti Camp, who, with others, gave his life in endeavouring to rescue his comrades on July 2nd, 1922.”
