^Lot 415 D-Day: Bill Millin

William “Bill” Millin (1922–2010) served as the Piper of the 1st Special Service Commando Brigade. As he landed on the Normandy Beaches, he upheld his role, playing the Brigade shore with his bagpipes under attack from enemy fire, and continued to provide the hymns to his comrades throughout the fight. Fantastic satin-finish 10 x 8 photo of Millin and the troops as they landed at Sword Beach in Normandy, signed in blue felt tip, “Piper Bill Millin.” In fine condition.
