Same person?

[edit]

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)[reply]

Good point! Canadian Paul (greetings of the season!), could your team please confirm this? Beyond what Skycloud86 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. Schwede66 08:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi; yes, they are the same person. I just never got around to updating Wikipedia. Canadian Paul 03:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All done. Thanks for the prompt, Skycloud86. Thanks for the confirmation, Canadian Paul. As a bonus, I managed to score a photo from Flickr. Schwede66 20:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
