Know your regiment, know the history

The day of our mess dinner corresponds with Vimy Ridge Day, 109 years ago to the day this member of the regiment lost his life and never returned home, his actions this day resulting in Victoria Cross

Name: William Johnstone MILNE
D.O.B: 21st Dec, 1892
D.O.A: 9th Apr, 1917
D.O.D: 9th Apr, 1917
Award: Victoria Cross

For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty in attack. On approaching the first objective, Pte. Milne observed an enemy machine gun firing on our advancing troops. Crawling on hands and knees, he succeeded in reaching the gun, killing the crew with bombs, and capturing the gun. On the line re-forming, he again located a machine gun in the support line, and stalking this second gun as he had done the first, he succeeded in putting the crew out of action and capturing the gun. His wonderful bravery and resource on these two occasions undoubtedly saved the lives of many of his comrades. Pte. Milne was killed shortly after capturing the second gun.
