Listed on the Kirkintilloch Memorial:-
Thomas Hutchison McMillan was born in Hamburg Cottages, Waterside, Kirkintilloch in 1888 to parents John McMillan and Margaret Hutchison.
He was a reservist with his regiment and had seen service in India and was working as a coal miner in Kirkintilloch in 1914 before being called up.
Thomas was a sergeant S/N 19170 with the 12th Batt. H.L.I. and was reported as missing and later reported as having been killed in action on 25th Sept 1915 at the Battle of Loos. He served with C-Coy and was reported killed in action by Pte A. Montgomerie who returned to duty after being wounded on 25th Sept., 1915 and thereby reported Thomas` death.
Thomas is commemorated in the Loos Memorial, Plate 108-112.
