Biography contributed by Faithe Jones
Sergeant MacMillan of the 11th Australian Light Horse Regiment was wounded in action in Palestine 13 November 1917
He was treated by the 4th Light Horse Field Ambulance for a gun-shot wound to the neck and transferred to the 74th Casualty Clearing Station, then to the 44th Stationary Hospital in Kantara, on to the 14th Australian General Hospital at Abbassia and then placed on a ship for Australia
He was listed as 'dangerously ill' 18 November 1917 with a Medical report dated 31 December 1917 stating 'Complete paralysis from waist downwards came on immediately [after wounding]'
He died at the 15th Australian General Hospital (Torrens Park Military Hospital) in Mitcham (Adelaide, South Australia) due to hypostatic pneumonia which was directly attributed to his war service.
