Piper Bill

  • 14 years ago
A concert was given this afternoon in Colleville-Montgomery in honor of Bill Millin, who returned in Normandy to attend the 66th D-Day Anniversary.

« Piper Bill » as he was nicknamed, was a brave Scottish soldier who landed playing his bagpipes amongst his comrades in arms under a hail of German bullets on Sword Beach.

Despite having health problems, he found the strength to come last year, and he is back again, weakened, at 87 years old.
