Obituary for Randolph Millholland, Cumberland News (MD) Thursday, May 20, 1983

(Associated Press) No one in Cumberland was much surprised when they learned that Maj. Randolph Millholland, Jr., had been appointed commander of a battalion of United States Rangers training in Scotland for the second front invasion of Europe.

The 36-year-old cost accountant wanted to be a soldier almost from the time he was able to walk, his father, Randolph Millholland, Sr., recalled yesterday. He went to work for the Celanese Corporation of America as an accountant instead, but the elder Millholland said there was hardly a time when young Randolph wasn’t dreaming of soldiering and military tactics.

Millholland was only sixteen when he took the first four thirty-day training courses at a citizens military training camp. He was seventeen when he enlisted in Company G of the Maryland National Guard. Over the years he advanced step by step until he held a captain’s commission and commanded the company.

After the Maryland National Guard was federalized Capt. Millholland was sent to Fort Benning, Ga., for a special training course and he participated with his command in maneuvers in Virginia and the Carolinas.

Sent to England, he was promoted to major and was one of four American officers selected for training at a British Commando school. When his training was completed, Millholland was assigned to command a Ranger battalion, the American counterpart to Britain’s toughened Commando troops. Slim and wiry, always agile, Millholland has made it a point to keep in good physical trim and his early training in athletics stood him in good stead at the rigorous British training camp. A sprinter and jumper on his high school track team, Millholland played right end on the football squad though he was the lightest boy on the eleven.

He was formerly bantamweight champion of his CMTC camp and a good golfer.

Millholland was born in Cumberland Sept. 21, 1906 and graduated from Allegany high school in 1925. The senior Millholland was unable to say just why his son was always so interested in military affairs. “He always was that way,” he said. “He read every military book he could get a hold of.” Perhaps, however, his background has something to do with it. Young Millholland is a direct descendant of the Randolph’s of Virginia of Revolutionary war fame.
