L/Bdr. Alexander Brian "Dusty" Millar
British Army 57 HAA, 215 Bty Royal Artillery
from:74 New Rd, Southampton
My dad, Alexander Millar served as a Gunner during WWII, joining up on July 16th 1939 aged 20. He was discharged in May 1946. He never talked much about the war but just told us a couple of stories - some he made up. Towards the end of his life he opened up a bit to my brother. When my brother asked him why he never attended any of the reunions his answer was "why bother, all my mates were killed". We do know while at Monte Cassino he was sent away for a reconnaissance course and when he returned most of his unit were dead. How he managed to survive all 7 years without injury is beyond me. I do have his entire war record from the Army Personnel Centre in Glasgow.
