Autographs of Bill Millin

William Millin (14 July 1922 – 18 August 2010), commonly known as Piper Bill, was a Canadian-born British soldier, and the personal piper to Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat, commander of the British 1 Special Service Brigade at D-Day.
Millin was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, on 14 July 1922 to Scottish parents. His father moved the family to the Prairies, but returned to Glasgow as a policeman when William was three. He grew up and went to school in the Shettleston area of the city. He joined the Territorial Army in Fort William, where his family had moved, and played in the pipe bands of the Highland Light Infantry and the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders before volunteering as a commando and training with Lovat at Achnacarry along with French, Dutch, Belgian, Polish, Norwegian, and Czechoslovak troops.
Millin is best remembered for playing the pipes whilst under fire during the D-Day landing in Normandy. The use of bagpipes was restricted to rear areas by the time of the Second World War by the British Army. Lovat, nevertheless, ignored these orders and ordered Millin, then aged 21, to play. When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: "Ah, but that's the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn't apply".
