William Miller (1784-1815) was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the 3rd Battalion on 3 March 1814, having served with the latter during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). While in Spain and Portugal he had also served as a deputy assistant adjutant general during the Corunna campaign, and as a brigade major with the 1st Brigade. Miller also fought at Cadiz, Bidassoa, Nivelle, Nive, Adour and Bayonne.
Miller was wounded at the Battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815. He immediately sent for his friend, Colonel C. Thomas (himself killed two days later at Waterloo), and stated I feel I am mortally wounded, but I am pleased to think it is my fate rather than yours, whose life is involved in that of your young wife. After a pause, he went on: I should like to see the colours of the Regiment before I quit them for ever. According to the plaque on his tomb at the Brussels cemetery at Evere, the Colours were brought and waved round his wounded body. His countenance brightened, he smiled, declared himself well satisfied, and was carried from the field. Miler died of his wounds in Brussels the following day.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a short-tailed coatee worn by Lieutenant-Colonel William Miller of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Foot Guards in 1815. The fabric used for this remarkable garment is beautifully captured, highlighting its intricate details and historical significance. Lieutenant-Colonel William Miller was an esteemed military figure who had served with distinction during the Peninsular War. His bravery and dedication were evident as he fought in numerous battles including Cadiz, Bidassoa, Nivelle, Nive, Adour, and Bayonne. Tragically, Miller sustained severe injuries at the Battle of Quatre Bras on June 16th, 1815. Despite his own suffering, his first thought was for the safety of his dear friend Colonel C. Thomas. In a poignant moment before being carried from the battlefield to meet his fate in Brussels the following day, Miller expressed his desire to see the colors of his beloved regiment one last time. The plaque on Miller's tomb at Evere cemetery in Brussels recounts how those cherished colors were brought to him and waved around his wounded body. This act brought solace to him as he smiled and declared himself well satisfied before departing from this world. This print not only captures a significant piece of military attire but also immortalizes Lieutenant-Colonel William Miller's unwavering loyalty and sacrifice for his comrades-in-arms. It serves as a powerful reminder of the courage displayed by individuals like him throughout history.
