Although over-age for conscription, Miller volunteered for military service in 1942. Rejected by the navy, he joined the army as a musician and formed the Army Air Force Orchestra, whose arrangements, such as the ''St Louis Blues March'', raised eyebrows amongst military music purists. On 15 December 1944 Miller, by now a major, was due to fly to [[Paris]] to play for US troops in the liberated city. His aircraft never arrived, and the exact circumstances of his death have never been established.
