    • NOTE 1./ David Thompson e-mail, 4-10-01:

      Samuel Millie joined the NWMP in August of 1899 when he listed his residence as Battleford, Saskatchewan. He lists his next of kin as Miss L.H. Millie of Ballymooney, Gashill. Kings County (now Offaly) , Ireland. He was Prebyterian which indicates a Scottish origin.

      NOTE 2./ David Thompson letter May 18, 2002

      Alternate records for Samuel Millie's enlistment into the North-West Mounted police list his next of kin as Margaret McDowell, of Upper Edmonton, now a London suburb. Samuel joined the 179th Battalion in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in WW1. This relationship is confirmed inthe Archives records, and per note received from Melanie Maasdam, apparently written by HH's daughter, Emma. Although reported to have died in Winnipeg during WW1, the archives records suggest he claimed a pension in British Columbia under the name, William Thompson.
