I met an old german veteran once, who said that he was a new recruit posted to france during the time of the invasion, and when he heard the sound of the pipes, a sound he never herd he asked his sergeant what it was, and the sergeant was pale and looked terrified and said that is the sound to death.
Lovat's family (Frasers) were related to the Stirlings of Keir - Brigadier "Shimi" Lovat of D-Day fame was a first cousin to David Stirling, the founder of the SAS.
My grandfather Hugh Fraser of the clan Fraser of Lovat was a piper in the Queens own Cameron Highlanders of Canada! Lord Lovat Simon Fraser of the Clan Fraser of Lovat and Bill Millan real Hero's my HERO'S!

My uncle and aunt met as WW2 pipers and married. 🐢
Charging the beaches of Normandy with his bagpipe as only weapon, what kind of man would do that ? Piper Bill Millin is a hero.
I think Mad Bill in good meaning of this word. From Russia with love and great respect of him and other Scottish
The kind of man that has issues walking properly because of the size of his brass balls.
A fuckun scotsmn ado tha! ❤❤❤
Clan Burns approves this message. RIP Billy
As a Lovat Fraser, I salute the memory of Piper Bill Millin 💪

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

He's also honored by Swedish Metal band Civil war by the song The mad piper
Theyre Swedish too?
I had the privilege of working alongside bill 80s .
Make us Millin's proud
Onore a questo grande uomo sempre davanti a tutti armato solo della cornomusa con cui andava incontro alla morte e dava coraggio. RIP.
The bagpipes - Help or trouble is on its way.
True warrior spirit ! @canecadoguerreiro , Cheers , Hurra !
The OG Billy BadAss
Scottish Heroes..."not English"...well said Lord Lovat
Many men from england served in that unit. Perhaps you should learn some history before blatantly ignorant comments.
@@MacScouse Maybe even some Welsh and Irish ?
There’s a CZcams video of Blackwatch playing the pipes outside the Whitehouse for president Kennedy .
Yes, as brave as a lion, but I like to think the Germans that wouldn't shoot at him, loved the bagpipes too!
They did not shoot because rightfully so the pipes petrified the germans with utter terror, after these were commandos
"British pipers" .... you what mate?
God save scotland
Reagan degraded everything he touched.
If you want to talk about degradation, nothing beats Clinton having sex with an intern in the White House.
