During the war, the Imperial General Staff put out an edict stating that the Pipes were not to be played in battle. When Lord Lovat was reminded of this, he said "Yes, but we're Scotsmen, so that rule doesn't apply to us."
My uncle was only 19 when he died relieving the bridge in a tank the sound of bill's pipes make me know how brave them boys were coming out of the sea only boys but so brave God bless them 💙
A bit Dummkopf. Great respect for Mr Millin from Bavaria near Germany. Thank you and all the men you inspired with your bagpipe giving me the opportunity to live in freedom.
@@maxwellfan55 Well, as the last veterans are now leaving us, it seemed to me the right thing to write it. UK and .de as allies: I agree. Cheers from Bavaria.
I am so proud to say I've been and paid my respects to and for the actions of these brave men ...... what an honour!!! Thank you .....🏴🏴🏴
It was nice too see in the Pegasus Bridge museum Bill,like many others had Donated uniform & equipment for future generations to view. Truly a Man to respect if there ever was One!.
He didn't even need too go, his wife was expecting and Major John Howard advised him not too but he did anyway, both Howard Mrs Brotheridge felt it for the rest of their lives and the child didn't learn of it for years.
If these heroes dont bring some sort of admiration empathy and respect and hit your gut and make the roof of your mouth sore from holding back the tears, you don't belong in Britain.
What a lovely man. Credit to the human race. True what he said that he was in no rush to fight with anybody it was more a desire to get off the boat that was making him feel sea sick. The Germans thought he was quite mad and didn't shoot at him.
True Scot.....don't think those Scotties don't like being called Brits , cant see him being any different Barbara.....brave as hell for sure but fought for their mates and not Brits.
@@alientoker7731 Stop talking rubbish they were in the British army fighting under the union flag it's like saying it's an english job because there was more people from England than from Scotland stop with the devision.
The Mad Piper's Complaint Were I a warrior I'd pipe by your side wade the shores of Normandy to a soldier's death Were I a poet I'd write songs of highland lads piping savage beauty and love an old man I am I hung my pipe on the wall my fingers fumble fading faces of friends forgotten on foreign lands endlessly a tingle down my spine a tear these I can - - - - - - - - copyright 2019 by Michael Nikoletseas
And the *real* reason they didn't shoot him was they were afraid that if they did the pipes would get angry and attack them. Wild bagpipes make a wolverine look like a harmless kitten. 😁

Rainer. Wow, what a comment x!
Germany and Britain should forever be brothers and sisters in arms.

Bill "Dummkopf" Millin. A real hero.
Great man, great soldier, great hero!
Incidentally, the first allied soldier killed on D-Day was at Pegasus.
Lt. Herbert Denham "Denny" Brotheridge.
He didn't even need too go, his wife was expecting and Major John Howard advised him not too but he did anyway, both Howard Mrs Brotheridge felt it for the rest of their lives and the child didn't learn of it for years.
I've met one of the men that saw him shot..sapper Harry Wheeler.
Bill with what you did you were a hero.
If these heroes dont bring some sort of admiration empathy and respect and hit your gut and make the roof of your mouth sore from holding back the tears, you don't belong in Britain.
Hold until relieved. Hold until relieved.
Famous line from the Longest Day.
'Hold until relieved. Hold until relieved.' ... and of course they did!
What a man.
What a legend !!! And balls of steel!!
Fucking legend ✊🏻

so many died thinking "is that a bloody bagpipe!?"
True Brit full of spirit ?what would he think of the UK today
@Talorc MacAllan Yeah like he said a true Brit .
True Scot.....don't think those Scotties don't like being called Brits , cant see him being any different Barbara.....brave as hell for sure but fought for their mates and not Brits.

His father was Scottish. He was born in Canada.
More Awesome
Never forget ❤️
Awesome.
The Mad Piper's Complaint
Were I a warrior
I'd pipe by your side
wade the shores of Normandy
to a soldier's death
Were I a poet
I'd write songs
of highland lads
piping savage beauty
and love
an old man I am
I hung my pipe on the wall
my fingers fumble
fading faces
of friends forgotten
on foreign lands
endlessly
a tingle down my spine
a tear
these I can

Almost as deadly as an angry haggis.
what song is he playing
Rowan Tree. Simple tune, written to be played simply.
Rowan trees are important Celtic symbols.
Lord, that is so exposed...
Typical Scotsman .Forget about the bullets .He was fed up being in the boat.
