Bill Millin was born in Saskatchewan on this date in 1922. A statue in Normandy commemorates his incredible bravery during the D-Day invasion at Sword Beach. . . Carrying no weapon other than a ceremonial dagger in his stocking, Millin piped Allied forces ashore and further inland. The invading forces were met with heavy gunfire. . . As men fell around him, Millin played on. Captured German soldiers later revealed they did not shoot at him because they believed he'd gone mad! . . . #scotland #ScotSpirit #standrewstoronto #bagpipes #bagpiper #kilts #meninkilts #ww2 #normandy #worldwar #swordbeach
