On 28th July 2007, Bill's wife died. They had met in 1943 in Oxford while they were both stationed at Farringdon barracks and married in 1946. The following message appeared on the front page of this web site in the weeks that followed Isabel's death: It is with the deepest regret that I must announce the death of my Mother, Isabel Gill, wife of William Gill, President of the Dunedin Society. Isabel passed away just after 2.30 pm on Saturday 28th July in her home town, Brighton. Those of you who knew her will remember her as a great supporter of the Dunedin Society. As a former Wren, attached to the Royal Marines during the Second World War, she never missed a Dunedin reunion and was always there beside my Father. She is sorely missed by all of us in her family. Stuart Gill, 29 July 2007
