Identity discs : Flight Lieutenant K R Miller, Royal Australian Air Force

One octagonal and one circular stainless steel identity disc on a twisted cord. The cord is partially broken at the octagonal disc. Both discs are engraved with the text '410608 / Miller K R / RAAF / Meth'. A small, gold coloured rooster is attached to the cord between the two discs.

410608 Flight Lieutenant Keith Ross Miller was born in Sunshine, Victoria, in 1919 and named after aviators Keith and Ross Smith, whose pioneering flight from England to Australia coincided with his birth. He represented Victoria as a Sheffield Shield cricketer before the Second World War, and enlisted in the RAAF in 1942.

After completing pilot training, Miller was sent to the United Kingdom, where he flew de Havilland Mosquitos on operations with 169 Squadron RAF. In 1943 he was selected in the Australian Services XI and went on to play in the Victory Tests and the tour of India which followed. His efforts in these matches led to his selection in the Australian team, where he became famous as perhaps the finest all-rounder ever produced by this country, playing in 55 Test matches between 1946 and 1956. Keith Ross Miller was awarded the MBE in 1956.
