Sergeant Miller

Miller in WWI: TWR

Sergeant Miller appears as a supporting character in *World War I: Trench Warfare Remake*. Miller serves under the command of Captain Indiana and Lieutenant Bushido, and he himself is in charge of looking after his close friends Corporal Krakowski, Private Wilson, and Private Bravo. Miller joined the army after deciding he would like to shoot a shotgun. That's it. In battle he is nimble at dodging bullets and he is a fierce fighter both at range and hand to hand.

## In WWI: TWR

Miller first appears in the intro digging a trench along with Cpl. Krakowski and Pvt. Bravo. He later appears hanging around with the enlisted men of the platoon where he talks about how they might soon be getting a compact machine gun. When discussing what weapons they could really use on the front, Miller advocates for shotguns like the one in his hand since it "Scares the living ... out of them if you know what I mean". When a grenade lands by him in the trench, his response is to suggest that it could be a wrong address in some witty banter going off the previous characters suggestions that this was a birthday present.

When he is called into formation with the rest of the men and informed that they will soon be performing a raid, Miller is pleased with this as he really wants to fight some Krauts, his favorite pastime. In the assault he can be seen dodging bullets swiftly before the platoon falls back. On the return he helps carry Pvt. Wilson off the field before jumping back to safety in the trench. He soon after rubs some dirt on Wilson's arm in order to help heal his bullet wound. It is unknown why this works other than the fact that these are main characters.

When the attempt to push the wall across No Man's Land occurs, Miller happily joins the rest of the men in trying to get this whimsical idea to work. After the move is called off, he wonders why the division has no tanks as this would seemingly be very nice to have at this stage of the war. Later when Bushido is having a PTSD episode, he questions if the Lieutenant is really fit to lead such a charge, but he goes with it anyway since he just wants to fight some guys already. Miller can be seen charging up the hill firing his shotgun before coming face to face with a German rifleman. Miller manages to hit the soldier in the ribs and knock him back after a brief clashing of weapons, but when he attempts to shoot him his gun jams. The German prepares to shoot Miller so the quick thinking Sergeant points into the distance, distracting the German and allowing him to then knock his lights out. Miller can then be seen laughing and pointing before scurrying away to fight more guys. In this period of time he manages to save Lt. Bushido by lifting his helmet up, and he soon recovers a rifle to start shooting at a Germans feet that Cpl. Krakowski is chasing after. He stops this after realizing it is 11:00, so he then shakes the hand of the man he was attempting to shoot seconds ago. He then joins the rest of the men for the standard good game high five line.

## Trivia

- Miller's equipment is the most unique out of those pictured in varying ways. His helmet, rather than being British like most of the other characters, is a Canadian WWII Brodie. While the rest of the characters wear an actual WWI jacket or instead WWII Ike Jackets, Miller wears an US Army M65 field Jacket from like 2000 since it was the only thing Jack had that John would fit in. John also could not get any belts to fit, so he combined a LCS-2 Belt from the 80s with an Australian Vietnam War belt to form his loadout, with an assortment of Vietnam compass pouches to look like pouches for his shotgun shells.

- The fight seen between Miller and the German occurred naturally as John and Jack were improvising some fighting. Before the final take was acted out the two were just going with the flow in the big shot of all the soldiers fighting when during the sequence John's shotgun fell apart after he pumped it. From there Jack pointed his gun and John did the point thing and it just went from there.
