By his actions he showed himself possessed of a very high degree of courage and initiative and offered a valuable example to other bearers of disregard of personal safety.

I met many an old “Tiger” I had not seen for years in this regiment and Captain Pearson of “Ours” was the Assistant Adjutant. After thirteen months the Battalion was disbanded and I again found myself in civil life. I settled in a charming little village on the coast of North Devon and thought I was at last a fixture, but no. On the 8 October 1904, I received a letter from the War Office saying that I had been selected to fill a vacancy in the King’s Body Guard of the Yeoman of the Guard. I can’t tell you how I felt when I received the letter. Anyway it was marching orders for me. I soon packed up and got nearer my work, sworn in at St. James’s. I was served out with my kit, and now, I hope, I shall have the honour of being actively connected with the Service till the end of my days.’ Miller died at Yeovil, Somerset, on 20 November 1915. Sold with copied discharge papers and article from The Green Tiger.

All three were torpedoed and sunk in the North Sea by the German submarine U-9 on 22 September 1914. The Aboukir was the first to be hit, at 06:20; her captain thought that she had struck a mine and ordered the other two ships to close in order to transfer his wounded men. The Aboukir quickly began listing and capsized, sinking at 06:50. Having approached, stopped, and lowered her boats, Hogue was struck by two torpedoes at 06:55 as she was attempting to rescue the survivors. She capsized and sank within twenty minutes.
