Talk:John MacMillan (British Army officer)

Same person?
Is he the same person as John_MacMillan_(rower,_born_1932)? They have the same full name, same birthday, both born in London and both went to Cambridge. Skycloud86 (talk) 10:38, 7 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Good point! (greetings of the season!), could your team please confirm this? Beyond what  says above, it appears that our rower and our officer both attended Trinity College, Cambridge. The list of Cambridge University Boat Race crews has "J R A MacMillan" competing in 1953 (the initials match). And The Boat Race 1953 lists "J. R. MacMillan" in the Cambridge crew as attending Trinity College.


 * I'm happy to do the merge if needed. I have this page on my watchlist.  Schwede 66  08:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
