William MacCLEAN

Extended Description: Permission was granted for upload by Frank

101-year-old World War 2 veteran William MacLean Ex-paratrooper, made his grandaughters dream come true when he walked her down the aisle this month! Her father passed away 11 years ago

William was parachuted into Normandy for the D-Day landings and said he wasn't even scared. He is very proud of his military career, and tries attends memorial services whenever he can.

Born on the Isle of Skye, Mr MacLean moved to Edinburgh when he was a child and has lived there most of his life.

He received the Croix de Guerre with Bronze Star, from the French, for organising fire-fighting parties at an ammunition dump at great risk to himself.

I salute you William and you sure look dapper.
