Major '''James William Miller''' [[Victoria Cross|VC]] (5 May 1820 – 12 June 1892)<ref name="Miller">{{cite web | url=http://www.rlc-conductor.info/Profiles/Miller.htm | title=James Miller Scrapbook | accessdate=11 March 2013}}</ref> was a [[Scotland|Scottish]] recipient of the [[Victoria Cross]], the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] forces.

==Details==
Miller was about 37 years old, and a [[Conductor (British Army)|conductor]] in the [[Bengal Ordnance Depot]], [[Bengal Army]] during the [[Indian Mutiny]] when the following deed took place on 28 October 1857 near [[Agra]] for which he was awarded the VC:
{{quote|For having, on the 28th of October, 1857, at great personal risk, gone to the assistance of, and carried out of action, a wounded Officer, Lieutenant Glubb, of the late 38th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry. He was himself subsequently wounded and sent to Agra.

Conductor Miller was at the time employed with Heavy howitzers and Ordnance stores attached to a detachment of troops, commanded by the late Colonel Cotton, C.B., in the attack on the above-mentioned date on the rebels who had taken, up their position in the Serai at Futtehpore Sikra near Agra.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=22601|page=956|date=25 February 1862}}</ref>}}

The VC award was gazetted on 25 February 1862, after a delay in obtaining the application for the medal from his senior officers.

He later achieved the rank of [[lieutenant]], retired from the Gun Carriage Agency on 10 August 1882 as an honorary major, and died in Simla on 12 June 1892.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=25205|page=1124|date=27 February 1883}}</ref>
