Hello,
My name is Stephanie Taylor nee Miller and my Grandfather was Harry Robert Frederick Miller born Wales 1924.
He was with the 7th Battalion Royal East Kent Regiment The Buffs which became 141 Royal Armoured Courps (The buffs) he was also posted to 57th Trg Regiment and posted to Royal scots greys.
He was the Driver/Gunner of the Churchill Crocodile Tanks (Flame Thowers).His army number was 14323975.
He served in Munster, Oldenburge & Tonning around 1945.
He married his sweetheart Jean Marjorie Allen in 1947 :)
He had one son (my Father) and two daughters.
Sadly Harry passed away in 1992 :(

My Father remembers Grandad telling him of a story regarding the Crocodile Tank which is unbelieveable but true .......While driving over some fields location unknown yet the boys heard 5 thuds outside on inspection they discover that 5 shells had hit the tank and imbedded themselves in the side WITHOUT EXPLODING !!!! a lucky escape :)

I am looking for anyone who served with Harry during WW2 or anyone who knew him i am looking for any information however small about his Army life.
Please email me if you can help.
Thankyou
Steph :)
