D Day Re-Enactment on the Normandy Beaches of northern France, June 1979. Images scanned in 2019 Piper Bill Millin on Omaha Beach with vintage military vehicles. Piper Millen - William "Bill" Millin (14 July 1922 – 17 August 2010, commonly known as Piper Bill, was personal piper to Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat, commander of 1 Special Service Brigade at D-Day. Millin is best remembered for playing the pipes whilst under fire during the D-Day landing in Normandy. Pipers had traditionally been used in battle by Scottish and Irish soldiers However, the use of bagpipes was restricted to rear areas by the time of the Second World War by the British Army. Lovat, nevertheless, ignored these orders and ordered Millin, then aged 21, to play. When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: "Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply." He played "Highland Laddie" "The Road to the Isles" and "All the blue bonnets are over the border" as his comrades fell around him on Sword. Millin states that he later talked to captured German snipers who claimed they did not shoot at him because they thought he had gone mad. Military enthusiasts in second world war uniforms of the American and British armies and with vintage vehicles of the period re enact the invasion of Europe on 6th of June 1944, knowns as D-Day. The 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings will be celebrated on the Normandy beaches in June 2019
