Milmine served in the Royal Air Force Reserves from 1941 to 1945. In 1943, while commanding a Halifax bomber, he was shot down over Germany. He evaded capture for several days, heading overland into the Netherlands, where he was captured. He was held as a Prisoner of War in Stalag Luft III until the end of the war. He later told his school's magazine "Actually, it wasn't that bad – if you could survive boarding at an English public school then you could survive prison camp!"[3]
Milmine married Margaret Rosalind "Ros" Whitley in 1945; and they had 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.[7] She died in 2018 at the age of 97.[8]
