Sgt. William McMillan
British Army 8th Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
from:Bridgend, Isle of Islay
(d.23rd April 1943)
William McMillan was my second great uncle. He was born in 1921 in Bridgend of Isle of Islay, Scotland and my Great Gran's older brother.
He served with the 8th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and was killed in action on 23rd of April 1943. He was just 22 years old. He is buried in Tunisia. His grave reads "No Dawn Shall Rise No sun Shall Set But We'll Remember Him".
I don't have any photographs of him but I did notice there were some others that had posted with relatives that had passed away that exact same day so it would be more than likely William knew some of them. His name is one of the many that are remembered in Edinburgh Castle.
