Captain Miller Memorial

The statue of Captain Miller (Vallipuram Vasanthan) was located inside the Nelliaddy Tamil Vidyalayam (on the road to Pt Pedro). The army was occupying this school when Miller breached their defenses and launched a suicide attack, on July 5th 1987. Captain Miller is regarded as the first Black Tiger so celebration of Black Tigers’ Day takes place on the day he died. His memorial too was destroyed several times by the SLA.
