Jane Phillips reports, with regret, the death of Ian Miller
on 5 May 2013 in Harare, Zimbabwe. Ian attested into the BSA
Police in August 1953, and served for exactly 20 years; retiring

He was later transferred to CID Headquarters and then spent
a short time in Umtali before being commissioned in 1969.
He was a keen squash player. Ian went into the loss-adjusting
