Death of long-serving Society employee

A retired employee of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society who joined the staff during the 1939–45 war has died at the age of 83.

Harry Miller began working for the Society in 1941, being unfit for active war service because of a permanent disability resulting from an accident. His early duties included stoking coal fires in the Bloomsbury Square headquarters building. By the time the Society moved to Lambeth in 1976, Mr Miller was working as a messenger for the Pharmaceutical Journal's advertising department. He retired in 1980 after completing nearly 40 years' service with the Society.
